EQUATION

EQUATION

energy
is mass

and space
and time
are
money

me
I wasted my
time
studying
philosophy
writing poetry

so can tell
your what’s-the-
matter
    moment is
pure
   postmodern
spiritual existential

ennui of life in a
post material age

nobody
     offers a phosopher
a penny for
his
    a shilling for
her thoughts

or to speak
the value or meaning
of anything these
days

just nowhere
     for the human
mind to expand

and all
     that wasted
storage               space

FABRIC

FABRIC

felt the fabric
both in respect of
space and
in respect of time

hard to separate them
when the threads flow
over and under each other

before our eyes and
out into the black distance
where we
              see red shift
blue shift
    Andromeda
                    so much
gravity pushing and pulling

feel so expanded beyond
the limits of
      my little self

I cannot
    talk at all
