Neurotechnology,
a gift or a bane
With thoughts simply neurons,
case structure our brains
Is humanity destined
to merely plug in
Will all beauty and truth
be a programmer’s whim
And what of our history
that starts to rewrite
Will all paradox suffer,
conversation contrite
From Plato to Sartre,
one thing is the same
The essence of man
—will a mystery remain
(St. David’s Pennsylvania: March, 2021)
Hope\'s Diamond
Not silver,
not platinum,
and surely not gold
A mind
eager to learn,
something else to behold
More treasured
in essence,
than riches untold
Where a Newton
or Einstein
—begin to unfold
(St. David’s Pennsylvania: March, 2021)
Cross Currents
If we could touch time
or taste a new dream
Awareness exploding,
beyond the extreme
To see every fragrance
or hear every wile
Our senses emboldened
—as memory smiles
(St. David’s Pennsylvania: March, 2021)
Toll Free
Verse is but a vehicle
to where my words are bound
The cargo much more precious
than structure that surrounds
The driving force empowered,
hands firm upon the wheel
The road to ever open up
—with all I say and feel
(St. David’s Pennsylvania: March, 2021)
