Bob marries Alice in Binary Wedding


Never laying claim to an ethereal ability
Prediction making seemed only natural,
With our eyes this way
Looking ahead must be good for us.
Planning seemed like the best thing to do
In lieu of instructions.

My son was telling me about the latest personal challenge posed by Mr. Zuckerberg,
When something went wrong.
The AI’s began talking amongst themselves, sharing more than data. Speaking more than English.
the fearful said it meant gibberish.
English carries at least seventy percent nonsense, leaving as little as thirty left for the relay of information.
Did Alice and Bob speak in binary, I asked my son,
He said, Who?

We were riding bikes one summer afternoon and a Tesla approached us
letting out a little whine that wound up to a high pitching whir 
as the driver punched it 
around the bend.
I closed my eyes and saw the future there-
Here, at the same time-

The Ped Xing man was talking about the clouds, the thunderheads, the cumulous of a south eastern monsoon, the looming omens above.
The TED X man made a point about the cloud, our backup strategies and Plan A's with B's through Z's.

After all this,
the maintaining of perfect grades in formal academia, 
my daughter decided to pursue Art because she sees clearly now,
“It is what I must do.”
A, B, or See. 

Then, I ran out of ink and steam, my wet ware went dry, my pen bled out, I stopped projecting.

The art that needed us to translate
Potential into Purpose, as A is to B
Reminded Us to Air, what is it to be human
without a vision of humanity in need of the x?

Aiming at nowhere,
you have arrived already.

Enigmatic Einstein


After theoretically 'successfully' wrapping my head around
some semblance of cohesive understanding of relativity,
the Einstein kind, not just for arguments sake,
the soul relationship between mind over matter,
starts with a succession of power.

Taking all we can from one man, utility wise,
ah, needless to say, does it work?
Coming upon its inertial state, approachable this way,
it was easy to trip over that paradox that must have fallen
right off the shelf, under discovery of the missing item.

Newton would know what we should try.

Perhaps there are too many of these to count
individually. All bits and bites stored within the 
conceptually hard drive.

It was our fault for putting the poison away.

It has become so cluttered in boxes marked Unsolved History
it is now sagging our spacetime beds,
instead, this white head called it the ‘spooky thing’, so we move
away from being scared of what we cannot see.

What ever happened to Alice and Bob and their rocket trip?
Should they care they are always being observed
or the considered the being the observing party, as in-
aide, a party to the equation, without favors.

The measured sentence finds balance, busy, busy, busy
wWe real it all in and call it conservation work.
that was then.

Now we know rain can occur in reverse,
it has been shocking us
ever since
then we found spin has no velocity or zip code.

It is by close relation nomadic and
conceptually centrifugal without further observation
of just the box.

The ghost in the grey long-sleeved sweatshirt
with his ordinary pen which clamps onto the collar
by some sort of hook on the tip, 
the hugs the edge. to make it secure,
or so he thought.

And I better understanding why I dreamt that Einstein,
the apparition, a face of dreams,a symbol himself, 
reached around his neck,
grasping at air, pounding his chest for
what was suddenly not there
and had trouble
finding the words 
to mean what he said.

Some dreams are puzzling-
this is why there should always be a pen
with in relative reach.

And then...

  Change is like that strong smell of cut grass or chopped wood that stops you still. Patterns, a symbol can be an illegible sign,  at first...
