Five Rounds On Hind Legs
The universe rises on its hind legs
and speaks into the camera
Binocular vision
and opposable thumbs
act on spinal impulses
rising out of enigma,
driven one round through the frontal lobes,
to be promptly formulated
as relativity & quantum physics,
artificial intelligence & sound poetry;
reality always one step ahead;
God a fleeting word and a logical somersault
*
The universe rears up
and speaks to the lens
Eyes in stereo,
thumbs against the world,
nerves rising from the dark,
looped through the frontal mind,
emerging as
relativity, quanta,
machines that think, poems that sound –
reality always ahead of us,
God a vanishing syllable, a logical flip
*
Universe rearing –
speaking light
Two eyes
two thumbs
nerves from darkness
through the thinking lobe
physics
quanta
thinking machines
sounding poems
reality ahead
God –
a falling word
*
The universe rears up
and speaks to the eye
Two eyes in depth,
thumbs opposing the world,
dark impulses climbing the spine,
circling the thinking brain,
becoming
time bent,
matter uncertain,
machines that listen, poems that breathe –
reality always ahead of us,
God a vanishing syllable, a mental flip
*
Universe rising
into speech
two eyes
two thumbs
dark nerves climbing
the mind-loop
time bends
matter trembles
machines listen
poems breathe
reality ahead
God –
a falling word
