Is being open to fate,
a choice
Accepting tomorrow,
in lieu of today
A foretelling that still
can be acted upon
A remembrance
—the choosing at bay
(Dreamsleep: January, 2020)
Duas Electiones
You have two choices
in war…
Turn into a psychopath,
or suffer PTSD
Becoming the former,
may insure your survival
Suffering the latter
—and your world self destructs
(Dreamsleep: January, 2020)
Therefore I Am
If all ancient philosophy
is a footnote to Plato
Then all modern thought
—is a tribute to Descartes
(Villanova University: January, 2020)
The Baby\'s Laugh
She brought flowers to the garden,
water to the pond
Fresh stripes to line the zebra’s back,
and melody to song
A background to the rising sun,
brush strokes to the paint
New breath to hold the baby’s laugh
—and love to cure the hate
(St. David’s Pennsylvania: January, 2020)
