The Quest

POEMS

Why does the river flow not fly?

The rocks are as heavy as it is...

Why does the earth rotate not bounce?

The ultimate lie of equilibrium...

Why the deep blue ocean doesn't cajole

us to live there?

Yes, it does, but not for many...

The encircling and the ludicrous

labyrinth of the quest

The malicious strap around our wings

nudges the feathers

Why is the quest such a hard nut?

Fool the angels and trust in fairies!

Yes! we're from heaven!

Yes! We're from heaven!
