I
Walk the Hypersurface
At
the occasion of artist Leonard Jubenville’s exhibit, “Searching for Now”
(August 11, 2016)
At 16, my life existed in 2-Dimensions.
like a caterpillar crawling one side of the
milkweed,
or King Ferdinand walking his flat earth.
Being was just what I could see:
this or that,
here or there –
a standstill of absolutes.
At 36, the 3-Dimensions of my life’s loves,
the new-born atoms of my family,
triggered blood-tie ripples into the world,
each particle concurrently connecting
to the wondrous change I wrought.
At 66, I stand in this 4-Dimensional
hypersurface
absorbing all
the reverberations of
those earlier epochs.
Powerless to change what’s arose;
begun anew:
Art,
Babies, Baking, Creating, Crops, Cycles,
Death,
Dramas, Families, Friendships, gods
Grandmothers,
Heartaches, Houses,
Loves,
Lusts, Marriages, Moments, Paintings, Pies,
Seasons,
Sex, Sensations, Space, Times, Worlds
The Alpha to Omega of my co-existing
16-36-66-continuum travels
with me
in me
here
NOW.
