MONDAY POEM

..
Heaven conforms to the Way (Tao). The Tao conforms to its own nature.
--Lao Tzu, Poet; 6th century BC

Something unknown is doing we don't know what.
--Sir Arthur Eddington, Astrophysicist; 26 centuries later

Tao Meets (E = mc²)
Jim Culleny

I'm as left as I am right
as up as I am down
as in as I am out
as far as I am near

I'm loud as pianissimo
I'm bright as I am blind
as cool as caliente
as body as I am mind

I'm dark as I am light
as here as I am there
as seen as out of sight
depending upon your where

Long story short
I'm nuanced and mirrored
as (E = mc²)

..

Knuckle headed noises
Jammed my scan
Static lightning
Mistakes messed my plan
Pit stopped,
I smelled this as another
"I can" attempt at self Reconciliation amidst the Thought traffic jam.

I ran,feet heart beat fast.
I reached, at last,
A place where thoughts
And acts cannot crash
Un back lash ash to ash.
Smash.
