Finding inspiration


My brain is only a receiver, in the Universe there is a core from which we obtain knowledge, strength and inspiration. ~ Nikola Tesla

Perhaps you’ve already visited the core
in your most exclusive dream
when the signal was so strong
you had no choice but to be drawn
to the source of everything imaginable

But upon your eventual reawakening
the transmission ceased to exist
and you were left to discover reality
as it presented itself in real time
absorbed into either side of your mind

brown paper bags


having too much knowledge
sometimes you need to
stuff some in a sack


in a sack stuffed inside
a cupboard
a pantry
a closet or a freezer

downtown the panhandlers
say mister mister
can you spare a sack

while the pickpockets
simply take what they may

in hemingway’s novella
the old man took a lifetime of sacks
out to sea
but that didn’t end up well
— or did it

is knowledge ever expanding
like the universe
or is it finite like an odorless gas
contained inside a sack
