Elusive Rambling

Disarmed

Bullets fall silent

against words 

well chosen

Their caliber

muted

— the target on fire

Stuck In Gear

Motion

not an absolute

The world

is never still

Inertia

tries to write the law

Where stop and start 

are nil

History

at the speed of light

Consensus

in the math

But standing

here

While stuck in gear

— the notion leaves me flat

(Villanova University: March, 2024)

Before The After

Don’t bog down

in research

Spontaneity

the thing

Truth

is most elusive

And joy

a passing Spring

In flashes

of an instant

What’s timeless

will appear

Thinking often

kills the goose

That lays

— both far and near

(Villanova University: March, 2024)

Deafening Silence

Things most often named

before understood

Then never renamed

for the bad or the good

‘Particles of light’

we now know as waves

But ad infinitum

their reference stays

A ‘Tablet of Paper’

consisting of sheets

Two ‘Bolts’ of lightning

fused Franklin’s belief

A ‘Softball’s’ still deadly

 meant to careen

And ‘Deafening Silence’

— spurs wonder indeed
