Behind The Curtain (+2)

Is something unphysical

in charge of this world

That lines every moment,

unseen and unfurled

Scientists say NO,

breathing fire as they shout

What is it then

that scatters atoms about

Darwin had his theory,

well accepted—unproved

That things change themselves

 on condition and mood

But somewhere deep

in the backs of our minds

A notion lay hidden,

firmly placed to remind

This proof we so revel in,

whose truth we revere

Has constantly changed

since the dinosaurs were here

So try to stay open

as new data evolves

Remembering the axioms

it now must resolve

And tune in to something,

not burdened by facts

The rock of all ages

—still blindly intact

Symbios

Can you talk about good

without acknowledging evil

Could they ever

exist on their own

Can you go somewhere

without leaving someplace else

The answer

fairly shown

Simplistic by nature,

linguistic in form

Contrast

rules the day

Allowing for one
by embracing the other

Truth to each

conveys

(Wayne Pennsylvania: October, 2020)

Cash Or Check

Given facts 

and reasoned truth…

Can't marry each other

without changing their suit

Some things our intellect

tries to explain

Can you turn off a light

that turns back on again

The reasoning sands

and factual concrete

From thin ice to thick,
what’s now indiscreet

Decisions and choices

are still made the same

But to rent or to own

—real estate of this game

(St. David’s Pennsylvania: October, 2020)
