The FAB&PP Poem of the Month for September 1998
On Non-Quasars, Dark Matter, and the Cosmology of Relationships
(inspired by an anonymous phrase in The Economist magazine)
'lonely and
companionless' grey
pebbles dot
locally curved space
time
we're all destined
to become
un
accented nutrinos
packed and
sealed now not
[waiting]
blazing solitary
in the pre-past
[but with] nothing
to devour
not spun up
[in]
the monotone of
undifferentiated
post-time
while i spy her
in the morning
co-orbiting with me
holding fast that
distance safe
aloof and
essential before
the melt down
after breakfast
wandering through the
tenement spaces
raising shades
greeting skylines
August 10-30. 1998
