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
