Divinity Chosen
Do three dimensions,
preclude a fourth
Does pointing toward South,
prevent being North
Is now just the midpoint,
between future and past
Does the freedom to choose,
leave all nature aghast
Is one and one two,
if one is in doubt
Are the whole or its parts,
what this world is about
Are Creation and Physics,
at war with themselves
Is Divinity chosen
—willed unto one self
(Saint David’s Pennsylvania: July, 2019)
