Changing TrainsI used to ride the train
from school to home and back,
every other weekend,
in an old Pullman car
built in the nineteen-thirties.
It smelled like my grandma’s house—
a little musty, like time
had curled up and fallen asleep
in the cushions.
Too warm, always,
but the clickety-clack over
tie bars and rail frogs
lulled me to sleep,
rocking me gently
as if the...

Fashion Of IntelligenceDigital addict:
What's life without internet
It's dull and boring.
Earth is energy
Things you have seen and not seen
They came from one source.
Technology came
Since time and immemorial
They just hung up there.
Air has wave you know
It travel fast here to there
Sending a message.
Navajo code signs
Makes enemy mind absurd
Won the war easy.
From rock to metal
How the...

Advisory for AdversaryThe sun unfolds, precisely peeking through
the light of stars, dominating ink-spilled nights.
Its rays graze softly on blooming wounds
as sirens set off warnings of incoming dunes.
O vulnerable soul! I pray you stay quiet,
hold dearly onto the kaleidoscopic life
slowly flowing out of your diluted sight.
O transient time! I pray you stay still for...

The Silent EdgeIn silence lies a hidden blade,
A subtle force, in shadows laid.
While others shout, their voices loud,
The quiet stands unbowed.
Rejection’s sting, a bitter art,
Yet fuels the fire within the heart.
Each “no” a step on paths unknown,
A test of will, a strength full-grown.
Watchful eyes with steady gaze,
Unspoken truths through crowded haze.
While noise consumes the restless sea,
The silent...

Nuclear Nemesis : The Golden DomeWritten By: D. Collins 5/29/25
With no magnetic field nor atmosphere.
Wouldn't radiation rain down everywhere?
What physics are involved with explosions in space?
And what would be the outcome of the human race?
Would it completely throw our moon out of whack?
Causing major tsunamis or have they thought about that?
I'm no genius but I have simple common sense.
Explosions...

WHAT WE THINK WE KNOWWhat we think we know
From the history book as we grow
About how we become humans
Might just be a grain of sand in a desert
Religion taught of the creation
A good will of a bigger being
Who from dust mold, better carves
The most intelligent thing on Earth.
Early scientists say we evolve
From ape-like creatures, bushy hairs
Transformed from round...

Seeing Spots
Physicists may say,
'Random is not truly random,
it only appears to be,'
but another theory goes,
(according to me)
'Not so when playing games of chance,'
(and I have done the sums)
for this experiment logic states,
'The odds in favour are 5 to 1.'
As I spy with my little eye,
seeing spots and counting dots
on a regular die,
(these don't go to 11)

Experimental ScientistA most important thing to do
is to put on a sock before a shoe
The method that is, by far, the worst
is to position the shoe on first.
An experimental scientist with pride,
I only know, because I tried.
An exploration motivated by Gray Squirrel's observation:
Humans make a big to-do,
because they wear a shoe.
Another animal, of course,
wears a shoe. He's...

If it’s a creation,
then science and spirit should explain each other.
Not argue. Not compete.
They should echo.
Like a wave entering water—
and the water nods.
I was born into a field,
not a house.
The floor, the couch, the corners—
they didn’t creak.
They hummed.
The rooms didn’t scare me.
The electrons did.
The lies—
It came through pattern.
Through footsteps stored in drywall.
Through the breath...

Albert Einstein, 1879-1955
Altho' it's not E=mc squared,
Albert was heard to theorise
when he declared,
"Carrots are relatively good for the eyes,
it's a fact
they'll make you see well and look good too,
I'm blinding you with science,
it's not hoodoo or a voodoo act."
He then asserted,
with a wicked grin,
"It only hurts when you put them in."

Science FrictionFriction can be tricky
if not applied correctly.
None -
creates a slipping hazard on ice.
A little -
causes a blister on your heel.
Too much -
results in the collapse of a relationship.
But just enough -
will ignite a fire
(outdoors to toast a marshmallow,
or in your soul to propel you forward)....
