Alan Bender Poems

The strange quantum uncertainty
here, there, and everywhere,
within, without, nonrandom bits sustain
universal poetic harmony.
...

1. The hazard of setting a standard

The once proud poets
Stripped of their unorthodoxy
...

Whatever you've come here to get
Try to forget it
It is so inhumane, replaceable,
Maybe you were looking for love
...

It just them, ahem, Northwest fools
...

His mass was less than she expected
Her tremolando cascade in F-space
Forced quantum choices in a snow storm
ejected anti-neutrino shower. Delirium
...

Full to the whim with phantasy
Elementary particles live in a vacuum
Defined by eloquent equations
...

Scissors, thread, material
Woven into a community
Worship homily,
Regaled
...

Bohr sees Einstein

God’s dice
are thrown one way,
...

“... a pair of what
appear to be humans
Appear to be loving.”
from “Judging Distances”
