Jacob's Ladder Unpublished

The staircase is dark
The way is uncertain
The only surety is, there isn't ever any
Even in the light
I can still lose my way
The only thing that is real, is that nothing is real
No few of my lovers, Swearing a lifetimes devotion
Yet clocks striking midnight still find me alone
Even as an absurdity it is absurd
But not as absurd as an obscenity is obscene
The difference is quite striking
Being struck by the difference
Not indifferent to being struck
Indifferently I struck another deal with myself
I should rise up an aspect of myself
Perhaps I will find a personality for the day
I might perhaps find a persona in here, in the dark
It wouldn't be the first time, Here in the Dark
And this stairwell is steep
Climbing or descending I'm no longer certain
The only thing I know for certain
Is that I certainly don't know anything

Opportunity & Spirit on mars.

Opportunity & Spirit on mars.
In a planet wide dust storm six months in duration
Again and a half as far from the sun as we yet,
Hope persists in the face of disaster
Ours is a minor planet.
Orbiting an insignificant star
Three quarters of the way out on an unremarkable galactic arm
There isn’t a thing that we can not do as a species.
Except not kill each other
Linguistic considerations aside Deus Ex Machina,
Is for poets
No god from the machine
Brazil’s giant sloth’s almost made it.
Hope persists in the face of disaster
Was it climatic changes?
Or, an unfortunate intro to humankind’s appetite for flesh?
Australopithecus! Southern Ape indeed!!
You were curious, As i am curious but, about what?
Hope and your species all these years extinct. What persists in the face of disaster
Seven thousand light years away in a star nursery, hope persists directly from disaster
The pillars of creation
This nurturing nursery quietly nestled in the Absolutely stupendously large corpse of the Magellanic Giga-star that preceded it
Euripides could not have known the scale of our vision yet, as a tragedian such texture
Julius in sooth cried “Caveat Emptor” He also said there is nothing new under the sun
What would he say of riding the blast wave upon cosmic debris being hurled star ward?

Physiological aspects of Geometric Rectification

Geometric rectification
Does not occur
As a direct inverse to proximity!
Like a cube becoming a truncated cube

Rather,

It lends itself
to such descriptors,
Only secondarily.

Rectification is the final point
Of a truncation process
Much the way that,
Direction of thrust

Opposes,

Direction of travel.
Only more like how a cube
Becomes a Octahedron becomes Dodecahedron

Left unchecked you end up with..
The first stellations of rhombic dodecahedronism
The topological equivalent to disdyakis dodecahedronism

Both your loves, and Hatreds will tessellate
Given their exponential potential
They absolutely will rectify geometrically

It does not occur
As a direct inverse to proximity

Rather,

It lends itself
to such descriptors,
Only secondarily.

And exactly like stellated rhombic cathedral
Your very Stellations meet at
And form, the vertex or vertices

And you are finally arrived
The stellated rhombic dodecahedral honeycomb

Lissajous Offertory

Like the decay
        Of radioactive isotopes
Or perhaps driven by noise
        At least as successful as
Elasticity theory of shape transitions

        Of viral shells

        Of phospholipid vesicles

        For smooth and repetitive
                  Oscillation

Like the delay
        Of radioactive isotopes
Or perspective riven by toys
        At most from succession
Plasticity lends descriptors to transitions

        Of viral smells

        Go sinusoidal

        For smooth and repetitive
                  Vacillation

Like the delay of decay
        I would go sinusoidal
Good rotational adjective?
