Kurt Philip Behm

Here But Gone (+1)

The present once noted,

is really the past

 

A thirtieth of a second,

perception if fast

 

Most people are slower,

 the flash that accepts

 

What our psyche affirms

—now gone and reset

 

(Villanova Pennsylvania: December, 2019)

 

 

Hidden Fantasia

 

Objective, Subjective,

which side of the coin

 

Will the story end up on,

its truth to purloin

 

“Dimensional borders”

the physicists scream

 

As life’s hidden fantasia

—plays out in a dream
