I trusted order in the silent stars,
Each planet moving in its measured arc,
Laws written deep in heaven’s endless vault,
The clockwork firm, unbroken, without fault.
Yet here they whisper of a phantom thread,
Binding two particles though oceans spread,
A flicker here, and there the twin must turn,
No time to travel, nothing left to learn.
I call it “spooky,” though my mind resists,
A ghostly bond that reason still exists.
Cannot be real—yet still, the proofs remain,
Defying distance, mocking Newton’s chain.
If truth be stranger than my heart allows,
The universe may break its sacred vows.
Perhaps the light itself is not enough,
To bind the fabric where the laws grow rough.
And so I wonder—do the stars still know?
That I am not alive.
The Look Is Fast As The Speed of Light
I got the look!
Instantaneous…eyes snap sidewise faster than the speed of light…
Freeze tag pinned in place…
Duh da da duh… I'm in trouble, blown something…
No question… no room for doubt… Yet not really…
Dad's unique cue… falling in between traditional parenting cracks… Straddling between discipline and time to nip this one in the bud…
That I can't believe _____ (fill in the blank) … I'm annoyed… to… well.. fits almost any category
A genetic predisposition… or inheritance?
Who cares? I got it! It's mine!
The girls got the look…
Doug. He's more than a worthy mention. Countless outcries… Don't give me the look!
Too late, once you said “don't” ….it's fait accompli!

=================================== =
if opposites attract then would opposite not attract the same
Als well has dried up but it it lasted a while
unfortunately he fell in it and died didn't end well
not in love but my head is still over my heels
when life gives you lemons squirt them in its eye who wants lemons
always get out of my bed at the bottom
so i can punch anybody that says i got out the wrong side
see if you count in half seconds is that a waste of time
if all the worlds a stage
wheres the exit
i don't seem myself
then why the are you telling me
Fast as our feet moves
Fast as a bike
Driving on threaded roads
Faster in a car
As swift as the mind thinks
The road is not far
Traveling many miles
Or the beat of our hearts
Racy as a Jaguar
Then playing our parts
Using our own brains
We must get that afar
Strumming on the old strings
Playing a guitar
And running past the Fast train
yet don't get too far
Just moving
At the speed of light
Being,
At the speed of light,
Sinking,
In a blur of sight,
Weeping,
For reasons to fight,
Feeling,
Like darkness of night,
Willing,
To be more somehow,
Thinking,
For a better now,
Reaching,
Far from what's allowed,
Keeping,
All that we have vowed,
Missing,
Much that surrounds,
Dealing,
With the noises and sound,
Kneeling,
Praying to be found,
Fleeing,
Running to the ground,
Dreaming,
Something radical and bold,
Seeking,
For stories that were told,
Wishing,
Faster than light, behold,
Believing,
The entanglement of Souls.
13th April 2017
From the wet sodden ground
two leaves in her palm
are rescued as if she's found jewels.
Reflecting the light, they are covered with pearls
of glistening dew from the dawn
She fondles them gently. A smile on her face
Examining slowly, she will turn them around,
like pieces of gold she has found
A moment like this, has suspending all time
A moment that's clearly sublime
The soft light of morning halos her hair,
to circle her curls, while framing her face
Crowning the moment with Chantilly lace
and swelling my heart with a small trace of pain
My soul is imploding with love for this child...
Yet, shadowing slowly is a knowing, somehow,
that all things so fragile will last just awhile
I know somewhere out there,
a star's gone awry,
A stray shooting star has traveled in line...
to fracture the shell of this instant in time
So quickly it comes, from the selvage of night
Faster it comes, than the tempo of light
to shatter such moments divine
