Something For Albert ... (+1)

The gravity

of space

The gravity

of time

Forging

perspectives

Relative

in kind

Newtonian

 dogma

At sixteen

he knew

By curving

the axis

It changes

— the view

(The New Room: April, 2024)

Quid Sum 

Not an academic

Poet

Not a tenement

Poet

Not a beat or a blues

or a church Poet

Not a famous or infamous

or celebrity Poet

Not an Irish or Basque

or Welsh Poet

Not a formal

Poet

Not a casual

Poet

Not the kind that takes

to the stage Poet

Not a tenured or membered

or club Poet

Not a for profit or glory

or fame Poet

… just a Poet

(The County Line: April, 2024)
