September Poem

Perspectives

There are times
I want to roll back time
Before zero was invented
Before the Greeks gave birth
To tragedy and math

No, antes

Before any language was spoken
When people can only
pout, smile, shrug
had no notion
nor desire
for E=mc2
When they only dream
of fire

Mas Antes

When eden was just
An idea
an itch of God
that stillness
so our inner void
Will find its womb

And recreate ∞
The symbol for infinity
To absolve
purge
its meaning.
