postmodernism 101
will be written
in the Mirror Room
make sure
you look good
and agree with
your reflection
before taking
the examination
the notes for Chaos Mathematics
will be issued on holograms
every
key theorem
broken into fractals
delivered
should systems collapse
by android
drone butterflies
well
before the hurricanes hit
the one caused by
the stress and
agitation
suffered by your
fellow chaos
students
writing the same exam
in China

COPERNICAN SYSTEM
tellers of tales
doctors of spin
the world
is a globe
it is
an LP record
it turns
with you, against you
within you and
without you
it is the Centre
of the cosmos
it is
a billion light
years from anywhere
screaming
ahead of
languishing behind
the times
common as muck, forever
plucking treasures
from the heavens
out
of the blue

RORSCHACH COYOTE STORY
swear I saw
a coyote testing me
not quite blotted out
motioning
for me to follow
teaching me right there
and then
every trick under
the Sun, aphorism
in the book
a wealth of key tactics
and strategies
to cover my trail
dupe this
queen of analysis

SET IN TIBET
I perused Tibet
conferred
with a Llama
found
wooly enlightenment
the exact
moment a star
went supernova
somebody’s Sun
exploding overhead
a million years ago
