Yes, it’s Lexington Poetry Month again! So brace yourselves. 😉
I’m a bit behind because the first three days of June were taken up with my daughter’s high school graduation and attendant celebrations — hooray! Yesterday I wrote a poem, but then forgot to post it. So here’s to finally getting started!
Visual acuity
light in the eye transforms:
particle and wave fractured
into color, parsed into contour,
interpolated into movement
billions of data points selected
or discarded to create
patterns that give the riotous world
an appearance of order

* This poem was inspired by a cryptic note J.R.R. Tolkien tucked into an unfinished sketch on display in Oxford, England.
