Some of us who attempt to write poems
want to box the ocean..
to make His Royal Boundlessness
to our measurement conform
.. we want to control
the waves' roll
Author's Notes/Comments:
Saturn in pisces
.. sometimes wants
to square the sea
W V Quine, world renowned logician and agnostic,
recounted that once on a train between Venice
and Milan in 1965 he was attempting to tell
an amusing anecdote about Our Lady of Fatima
when 4 times things fell.. the cheese, then
the wine, then a suitcase off the rack,
and finally a coat. He considered these
were miraculous interventions.
A CIGARETTE SAVED BERTRAND RUSSELL'S LIFE
As he was on his way to Norway in a seaplane,
Bertrand Russell was told he could not smoke
except in the rear of the cabin. Upon landing
the sea plane hit a submerged log and flipped.
Only those in the back of the plane were able
to swim to shore.
