Analysis of Now As Before
Are those dimensional theories a trap
for what your mind will never understand
Does your spirit lay dormant and fallow
an alien within its own land
Does the math and the science betray you
with the numbers piled outside your door
Is the time sliced and diced infinitum
—deliverance calling now as before
(Villanova Pennsylvania: July, 2018)
