Waiting For Godel

Kurt Philip Behm

Gravity is

and gravity isn’t

Based on who’s looking

perceptions command

 

Less for the physicist

more for the poet

Science self-serving

two feet in the sand

 

Pulling us forward

pushing us back

intrinsic within us

as natural as air

 

Inside each moment

the stricture forgotten

Transcendent surrender

—polarity spared

 

(Dreamsleep: January, 2023)

    Love this poem. For me, your final stanza so beautifully phrases the duality of perception.
