NOT WHAT IS PERCEIVED

we played chess
on acid

which gave the whole game
a kind of
snakes
and ladders effect

then went
to write our
entrance exams

hard to do
algebra
when all you can hear
is the sound of a mellatron
and bagpipes
in your head

but nevertheless prevailed
did my level
best

spirit level best
left brain right brain
quantum
entanglement at
the heart
of everything
every
single breath

both in terms of the
horizontal and
the vertical dimensions

every shape
and size, every configuration

my eyes
see
my fingers touch

and you in your beauty
naked before me

at the core of love
meaning (and future) of our
stunning species

having recently discovered
all that is out there
if anything is
out there

is not what is perceived
