Cosmic
Chautauqua (a poem of equations)
by
Kevin McMahon
Beginning
with a seed in a celestial glen
Maturing
through the ages, the distance overran and underplaced
from middle to end
A
side of time that sends its temporary blend of demons and of men
whose consequence subscribes…
Next
below the countless grains of terra sand
Watch
the matter and the manner and the spanning of the laughter follow close at hand
And
execute its plan for the conscious mind of man, claiming all it can
of the possibilities once ascribed…
Now
to the moment when tomorrows begin
And
the hist’ry of the whole, the torn, the scorned and
the mourned is swift to drift away again
And
though we may know what shows us the way, we are not so bold enough to sway
past the outer reaches of otherwise beside…
1H + 1H → 2H + e+ + ve
2H + 1H → 3He + g + E
E = mc2
3He + 3He → 4He + 1H + 1H
+ E
A reaction creates the elements needed
for recreating an elemental action
An
errant dimension intersecting space
Runs
counterbalanced through Us, All, One and None against the metamorphic face
Colors
rise to grace. Wavelengths ebb in place
and frequencies fluctuate in haste
before the morning light reveals…
The
numbers push and play and struggle to remain
Disperse
into Integers, Rationals, Naturals, Imaginaries, far
across the plain
Seeking
to attain an outcome to their game, ignite melodies and sear the flame –
the diameter of
which concealed…
Patterns
coalesce from the random flood of waves
And
start to disorganize from the being, the meaning, the portions spent and saved
From
atop the trees, weaving through branches and falling leaves, charging on the
breeze
across the sky until…
A gravitational force holds the planets
in orbit high around the sun:
Atomic orbital course keeps electrons
from colliding with any one:
F = GMm / R2
F = Qq / 4per2
The symmetry never yields in pursuit
of mirroring infinite to none
|
Bridging the Means to the Why is no ordinary task To question the way of things implies the unsatisfying answer that if
they were but slightly changed, we could
not ask Why the rocks ripple the water; why the mountains aim higher and the forest spreads around.
But the tree stands tall and fast |
Conditions observed in the universe are conditional to the
existence of the observer: An anthropic explanation of some
electron’s mass |
Sea ‘round
the globe: no horizon to anchor our perspective
See square:
the matter underlying its energy
