The Poetry and the Moment 

The poetry and the moment 
tragically killed in a freak accident,
prevents the arrival of that moment.
The occasion was entirely unique in history.
But here is the thing:
Sometimes things are very obvious.

Now it seems that
a rendering of unregulated numbers in the wild
take on a life of their own,
engaged in who-knows-what,
changing the entire face of mathematical logic.

Up until that point it had been used without any supervision.
various things had gone wrong.
[The] notice of the sightseers mingling
experience history as a daytime haunting.
That speaks of its time.

A river of poetry and prose
is quite a striking display.
These are the spaces that the eye is directed to.
If we look at them in a certain way
There is nothing there.
It is a little curious.
