An Old Book
I once had an old book on Metaphysics (written before quantum mechanics) when read front to back it was impossible to understand, yet if you read it from back to front, everything could be understood.
The meaning of life came out clearly. Einstein’s theory of relativity was made simple. Religion was explained. God was identified. Our reason for being was clear.
Every enigma and conundrum of the ages was answered, every Biblical parable was explained and every single bit of man’s philosophical muddles were clarified.
The book was then lost, misplaced or stolen. So that now I know nothing. I’ve looked for it in old and ancient book shops, on the Internet, I’ve even prayed to find it, all to no avail.

Daffodils On Deer Trail
Daffodils white, yellow, gold, buds, surround the long black driveway shoots pushing up green sprouting bluejays announcing woodpeckers busy tiny oregon junkos singing snow's gone it's warmer day and night sun's out more of the day still some morning fog bobcat kittens about coyotes heard gray squirrels howling hopes and cheer here again on Deer Trail in the spring.

population it explodes without end its increase is a certain dead-end
plenty is the rule in this country wealth and plenty are complimentary
poverty, rising food prices, hunger, riots the world will never again need diets
who can afford petroleum, oil, plastic? wow, it seems so very fantastic?
famine, fights, fright, death unnecessary killing like MacBeth
population, plenty, poverty intertwined with mediocrity
it’s inevitable, it’s a fact, a fear, the world is at its sad nadir
a horrible situation I swear what a sad world wide affair
high cost for elimination of weapons of mass destruction out of control DOD reconstruction almost lost Iraqi oil production
we’ll never stop the insurgency even with the latest surgency even considering the urgency to end this stupid emergency
how many soldiers will be killed their young lives suddenly ended or hopelessly severely wounded our leaders completely self-willed
the world viewed our image all through this asinine scrimmage as though we pay homage to some strange pile of garbage
what about a new paradigm leading to simple peacetime diplomacy instead of wartime not continued war crime
let’s throw all the bastards out sure a new president without old baggage could no doubt lead us without a cop-out
let’s bring home those GI’s get our politicians to advise an end to our UN allies end this is what I visualize
