The Physics Of Poetry


Robots reason

people think

in counterfactual oxymorons

 

The equal sign

ironic still

in anti-literal contradiction

 

A=B

B=C

but D won’t link without reflection

 

Zero-Sum

with nothing totaled

nondescript—the grand ligation

 

(Rosemont Pennsylvania: May, 2022)
