Watching
bombs fall
over
internet connections,
we turn
to computers
and post "nothing at all
is shocking."
Yet the fact
that we are able
to understand
one another
but still sound
like ourselves
comes as no
small wonder.

Which is harder?
To spot
the cliché
or explain
away the jargon?
They used to say
a stitch in time—
like a spine—
goes unnoticed
til the moment
you pull one.
But eminent Psychologists
of today
have suggested
that old shout
of Archimedes'
was leveled
in agony—not
in epiphany.

Hey there, mister moon.
How soon is
too soon, I wonder
to have ended
up where you'd begun?
