In a lineated
Barn the swallows
Fly in quick tight turns
And dives and the straw smells
Of straw and there’s no other way to put it
Human beings die from lack of contact
With the real world blackberries
Grow on thorny vines and it’s a mess
To disentangle in the mind
For example Paul Dirac
Observed that God
Used beautiful mathematics
In creating the world
And is the preferred language
For describing swallows
Unlike the cubic crystal lattice
Where gravity condenses matter
Into galaxies stars and swallows
Behave as if nothing
Existed but air
The blue globe of planet Earth
And Dirac so loved Cher
He bought a color TV
And watched her adoringly
In the sweet Florida night
Massive particles spin
Around an axis of love
As Cher sings if only
I could turn back time
