An assembly of poems that is meant to confront paradox, generate humor, and expose human situations by example. Over 300 pages with many color illustrations.
A Non-random state of the entire universe rather than just human life and existence is not always considered in creative expression. The assembly of poems in Cosmological Tendencies is meant to confront paradox, generate humor, expose human situations from the only plausible view, from example as they are part, without exception, of a cosmos that has no parts that are 'out of this world', is a story line itself that contains and beholds itself as one beholds the stories of life that exist no other way but in the beholding, and is all that exists. I hope, poetic constructions in a 'bits and pieces' approach inherited from an academic background in the Natural Sciences, diverging to confront human paradox, will enlighten, entertain and educate to the possibility of a wall that, other than fixed and pre-existing, though immoveable, grows forwards from the conscious reflections that compose the choruses of men and women in their learnings rather than from their engagements to action.
Excerpt
Who knows what numbers lurk in the hearts of names?
John has two brothers
and Harry is the brilliant ruler of a country
with 3 million dumb minds
... Mary is 48 years old
and elisabeth
Her cousin twice removed
is 24 years older
than mary's great aunt belinda
the same age as Harry
owns all the banks in his country
rules him too
and cant count to ten less
than any of the 3 millions brains
harry cant keep track of
that can add up quickly
all the votes on election day
Though light dont go well round corners
numbers can cut them quick and straight
June till May
