Prolegomena Soliloquy - Pt 1
Tell me, my friend,
does infinity not unsettle your reason,
or is it a comfort—to believe it meaningless?
Look beyond the rust of your disbelief—
this isn’t the frostbitten dogma you...

'continental Drift' - the Metaphor
'Continental Drift' - The Metaphor
In the seventies (1), few people dreamed ‘it’ was true,
guessed by scientists first when rough coastlines compared (2)

Of Paper Moons, Foxes, and Blood Oranges
I. Sighting
I saw you
through refracted light-
a prism of chance
splitting ordinary into spectrum.

to contrast a slumbered eye awakened
to feeling,
reflection, light,
Lady "Genie", eyes aglow

The Giant of Lisbellaw
Stood I there, that last day,
On an iron bridge...
An aqueduct by design,
Where, looking dreamily out over
The Ernes Lower Lough,
My compressed shadow
Momentarily paused -
To contently recline:
Amidst coy Junes radiant beams
of sweet benign!
All was stilled,...

The finite contemplating the infinite
The stardust male and female still flush with light
From exploding stars, seeding new possibilities, our true progenitors.
So that even God Himself must take note of our passing (in its season),
Such elemental...

Schools are Changing
Gates once locked with poverty's rust
now swing on golden hinges
Every child a key-holder:
the girl whose fingers paint light from darkness,
the boy who dreams in mother tongues and thinks in mathematics,

The Poets Duel

Making America Greatatwar Again

and pissed off mule.
