A Foretelling (+3)

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)
