Gravity For Dummies

Strange man 
That he was, 
 
Newton saw 
An apple drop 
 
From a tree, 
And being much 
 
Possessed 
 
By second nature, 
Thought it was indeed 
 
Something out of the ordinary. 
Up till then, no one had ever 
 
Given it second thought— 
We know better now; 
 
The rest is old-hat, or is it 
All as simple as that?

Haiku: Air Of Deference

 
When the wind entered, 
A rush of canebrake rustled— 
 
The words stopped hiding.

Soothsayer, March 15th, 44 B.C.

I know beyond 
 
The shadow of a doubt, 
You won’t believe 
A word of what 
I’m going to say— 
 
Even after I say 
Some brutally honest hand 
Writing on a wall beckoned 
I should tell you so.

Infinitus Poetus Interruptus, Period

What’s left to do 
We never do, 
 
And that’s all 
We ever do, over 
And over 
 
Again, never quite 
Getting over it 
To no good 
 
End.

Lost Cause

Where
 
Our fractured memory finds us 
Gathered on a barren shore 
 
At twilight, trying vainly 
To put the pieces together 
 
Once more, our heads teeming 
With once fanciful images 
 
That have no bearing anymore.
