Meteoric the fanfare,
Brash the brass that subsides .

Gathering together the simmering seas,
Pangea spread arid
And flat ;

Tone poem diminuendo
In geologic movements .

Raindrops dropping monotonous :

Drip sizzle thump plop
Thunder rumble sigh
Fog mist puddle flood
Sprinkle splash slide
Drip drop drip drop drop
Flushing tomtom mud
Chattering
On and on and on
On   on   on   on   on

Splattering the backs of reptiles,
Amphibians dunking their heads
To escape this incessant hissing :
Fish oblivious .

Eons of ponds .

Then up pop the plants
Taller now,
Struggle—
Two million years .

After
The Wet Intermezzo :
Enter the dinosaurs that tower,
Roam .

He alone is my mirage
And my delusion,
My bunker
Where I am defiantly
Cocksure
And shielded
From devilish empiricism
And philosophies .

The banter of a ranter,
Letters shaken from decanters,

    Modern epilogue
Shaking off the shackles
Victorian, the scaffolds
Of landscape linear, for
Novelistic poetry :

Geometrical the
Shafts of light cutting
Corridors that echo,
Littered with glass cubistic,
And particles like snow .

Constantly in flux
Quantum field excitation :
Fundamental particle .

At least as many fields
As there are particles
In the standard model .

Its particular field,
Each particle propagates .
Field interaction :

Energy exchange results
In particle creation
And annihilation .

The math of reality;
At least, in part[ icle ] ;
Fielding tentative waves

Of quantum evidence—
Peaks that collapse
When peeked at ·
