Friend or Foe?

Dictionaries too
place heresy ahead of
heterodoxy
Such internal prejudice works for harm in both religion and science.

Included in Lent Poems.

Mutuality

I see and you see
each the other: not the point
where our eyebeams cross
If we see ourselves mirrored in each other, we lose our points of contention.

Included in Found Poems.

Weekends

Sunday used to be
before Monday. Now it comes
after Saturday.
Originally entitled ‘Diaries’.

Included in Found Poems.

Dying

first oblivion
then a remembered future ~
autumn of the soul
Trying to observe one’s own death from different time coordinates.

Included in Found Poems.

Not Many Worlds

two roads in a wood:
taking both, I make an in-
terference pattern
Multiverse theories make me want to gnash my teeth. So, here I am trying to contain my dental costs. Robert Frost resolves the two-slits experiment.
