de Chardin’s Omega Point

 

 

If I knew where I was sailing from,

I could calculate where I was sailing to.

 

-Number Six, The Prisoner: The Chimes of Big Ben

 

 

The Philosopher suggests there is an Omega Point

Where the physics and mysteries of Creation converge

Where the End is the Beginning without an end

The Good, the True, and the Beautiful unified

 

Then there must have been, or is, or will be

An Alpha base of Creation and Incarnation

Snakes and sinners writhing beneath the Tree

The Seder as the Last Supper, or the First

 

The Philosopher suggests there is an Omega Point -

But I don’t seem to have a map

Eating Biblically 4

 

Eat kosher meats, legumes, and barley,

But not exoskeletals; they’re so gnarly!

Eating Biblically 3

 

Let’s give landeskirchenfuher Hegseth a pass

After all

He eats with the jawbone of an ass

Eating Biblically 2

 

 

In Exodus there’s not even a verb

About eating a Hebrew named Bitter Herb

Eating Biblically

 

I’ve never felt that I was liable

To dine upon on a tasty bible

Where Words Matter More than Noise

 

As a wise friend says

 

“The unacknowledged legislators of the world” 1

Do not assemble in chambers of marble and oak

With speakers’ maces, in ermine-collared robes

Their speeches taken down by The Guardian and The Times

 

But rather at corner tables at Kosher Sam’s 2

Café Zanzibar 3, The Stray Dog Café 4

With disposable pens, and in jeans and tees

Their speeches interrupted by each other

 

Ideas later sharpened into verse

And published in LogoSophia and Eliot’s HP 5

2 San Diego

3 Nacogdoches (and can you spell “Nacogdoches?”)

4 St. Petersburg

Hello, You

 

Hello, You

 

You, who have never written an idle line,

Give a second sunrise to each merry morning

Or if a morning is not permitted, a dusk

An hour of your gentle peace to read

 

Hello, You

 

You, who chant for us your litany of hope

We who are blessed in your thoughts and words

In how you shape chaos into hymns of love

And sing your stories to the universe

 

Hello, You

 

You, who have never written an idle line

Pray for all of us, please, at your Heliconian shrine
