TA-RA

TA-RA

stared at the ceiling
tried to read the stars
when they appeared
as if
  I were reading
the Kabbala or Torah

and
mystical moment, unexpected
abracadabra, wouldn’t
you have guessed
it, know it
they did
      appear, disappear

like clockwork it ran,
long before Heisenberg,
taking its, cue
from Newton

like clockwork
it ran
until
   it no longer cared
until it didn’t

try to
   understand it all
process it now
until paradigms shift
and it just
gets
too much for you

see how cleanly
it aligns
   with all on
that whiteboard
spelling out your
rough draft
towards a logical framework
