How odd I am within you! Whirling mad

How odd I am within you! Whirling mad
into another verse, another song
about the turning of the spheres. How will
I ever find an order in the chaos

that is material things? The different shapes
don't fit into each other, ratios
are not of whole numbers. In a fiction,
it wouldn't seem so weird were I to fly—

a lucid spirit—into the dark clouds
and pronounce thunder. The lazy pattern
that is my politics is of the sort

only irrational men understand.
The strangeness of the dancing verse I make
is inexplicably forgettable.
