elasticity


the world is out of balance
all you have to do
is look to the moon & the sea
their cyclical movements
incorporating something unique
at any given moment

seacraft & aircraft
& especially spacecraft
coming & going
by way of an invisible vortex
orchestrated by lineless triangles
and headless directors

meanwhile back on land
a populace chases
dreams they’ll never see
impossible ambitions
manipulating supply & demand
fueling untapped fanaticism

  1. Love this poem on “elasticity”. With an economics background, I can relate to the “impossible ambitions, “manipulation of supply and demand, untapped fanaticism”. Well done.
