A Quantitative Valet (+5)

Science…

 a handmaiden of knowledge

 

The upstairs maid

 in a mansion of discovery

 

Chauffeuring itself

 along roads it has built

 

A quantitative valet

 —in the closet of the unknown

Cogito Ergo Erras

 

Science hears what,

 Philosophy why

 

The deafest of twins

 —singing in the same choir

 

(Villanova Pennsylvania: April, 2019)

 

 

 

Blind Contempt

 

The quandary of physics…

 a tool to divide

 

A slave to its master,

 alone to misguide

 

Capable of function,

 but never intent

 

An eye without vision

 —and blind with contempt

 

(Villanova Pennsylvania: April, 2019)

 

 

Heaven\'s Atelier

 

All of your efforts…

 an homage to false reasoning

 

Excuses misleading,

 art’s truth to disown

 

Heaven’s Atelier

 beyond comprehension

 

Its masterpiece living

 —beyond canvas or stone

 

(Villanova Pennsylvania: April, 2019)

 

 

 

Exigent Power

 

Epiphany’s truth

 needs no defenders

 

Its window stays open

 the light shining through

 

The nature of being

 its servant not master

 

With exigent power

 —beyond legend or proof

 

(Villanova Pennsylvania: April, 2019)

 

 

Stolen Dreams

 

All sleep is barren,

 the night becomes long

 

The Muse an insomniac

 —restless until dawn
