Halves of a Nine

by Erin Elizabeth Kelly-Moen — Read all 1,670 poems by Erin Elizabeth Kelly-Moen

Saturday, September 10, 2005

I’ve been thinking about Time, again,
and, its assignation. I see Time as the sum
of halves of a nine. A five, added to a four,
equals nine.

Time, in my household runs like that premise.
Most of the time, I prefer it that way.

There is no clear definition of the correct
perceivability of a half. I think
halves can be skewed, arranged, by
me and you, into relativity by our lives.

It’s said a half is fifty percent of the whole,
but, I don’t think so, halves are weighed
in terms of Time. Yeah, terms of Time.
There must be words to express the halves
of Time’s passage.

Fleeting, flashing, dragging, lacking, yes,
all apply, yet, not in essence.

I think I’ll add a term or two.
I see Time as misbalanced, paralleled
and produced. I see chaos, and joy, and
births of new eternities. I see Time
as a split infinity, which gathers matter
deliciously into plots and paths and rhymes
and wines of experience. After all, experience
is, in other-how realities, imagination. And,
vice versa.

So, thoughts of Big Bangs and alien
forms are all and nothing in Time’s unraveling.
It’s the cognizance of self
which is the driving force of Time
in our passing pronoun-ed lives.

I have to find a way to grip Time's nines,
these halves are killing me…

Dear Erin: You will soon become a full fledged physicist-relativity experet. and should have an (atleast9 honorary degree to go along with it.(I will try to prepare one for you). As I see it(get the pun) (its in everything I write that I stumble in confusion on, base the interpretations of decisions of my paper rejections(obviously on my confusions how I see the rejections to have assembled my body of literature right in front of masny esteemed professionals who I dont think have yet realized this and have not made an effort to speak with me about the topic) on-puns are hard to avoid when I boil things down(even get graphs of eggs looking like hard boiled eggs with the bubble at one end). Yes the world is imperfect , uneven, like a egg cleaves into two parts when it divides, equal parts be exactly identical and would not exist-live is just transmitters and reflecting receivers-if something is not reflected it can do no work to anything and you can say a tree did not fall in the forest if no one heard it and (thenit did not make a sound for perception) it did not reflect vibrations anywhere to cause heard sound or not). WhenI take my own equations and solve for imaginary solutions (imaginary number is square root of -1) I can get the same solution as for a real number system that adds up from two part solutions to zero-equation itself equals znothing-but either part can be used to generate a curve. All the possible diversities and animals of the world(of which a very smal minority are known) might reflect a world of all the possible ratios(unequal halves) from the worlds total set of beginning comparisons and ratios. Any bodies heart that is set on perfection in life wil have to accept philosophy and not mathematics.
I found out my old psychiatrist I thought retired -has no old telephone number-had transformed into a neurological-forensic-crime osteopathic consultant, and sent him (after decades) a letter with my equation generated egg graph.
Got some financial aid this year and will be starting cal state la as a masters student in Philosophy-classes start the 22nd.
Your friend
Marvin

A poetic-philosophic symbolistical "Halves of a Nine"...
"Halves of a Nine" has complied with its poetic tasks and
delivered a mind's striking composition.

I salute You, Poet!

In China, the number 9 means eternity. You have creatively used this number to write a poem. Good job, Erin!

LOL, Erin, this is cute. Funny how we will rationalize something until it makes perfect sense to us. Loved this!
Take care,
Sherry
