| Intimacy vs. Oneness by Robert Fisher | ||
I Is Spring so intimate so personal with its blossoms that you and I activate the senses prepare for a haiku five become the confessional the tusche that silk screens colorful intimacies? Is hello more than a greeting: reason with desire or just a breeze with magnitude & direction? Dual themes intimacy and oneness different in the mile close in the inch II This duality of close vs. whole straight vs. arched is by nature everywhere Take money for example commonality in currency with some allowances a greenback’s meaning is global But true value is a concept: the intrinsic sense transcends the extrinsic cents Worth moves past coin past a king’s face It is not artifact the coin is. III By nature we look for harmony: this act is never trite In buds we see the perennial repetition of a poem being to unite Still the confused & the sexual always in cahoots In the May of our youth Love became Lilac: flower and fragrance became truth. _________________________________________________________________________ ROBERT FISHER is a Professor of Mathematics at Idaho State University.
