Chaos Studies
Can you make me
one with everything? said
the Zenmaster to the hot-dog vendor.
Is there a One-ness to be found
skilfully curled into the core
of being, a presence of design
and order, symmetry of loveliness,
surprising grace which marks - divine -
the quarkiness of things and tracks,
the further in one probes, toward
the celestial DNA code of this universe?
And might we glimpse it even in
the fracturing of bread, the spilling forth
of liquid red, a stain that bears reality
to blood shed to set life tight
at the heart of all that is?
