Selecting Electric Eclectics Poem by Jan Sand

There is far more to be alive than mere linguistics provides
Whatever infinities it may demonstrate, as it must be realized
That endlessnesses of any class cannot encompass totality.
Reality is not so simply encaged.
It rages at captivity.
.
Each sense that gifts with sensitivity shapes selective patterns
In its spectrum range that may seem to dominate,
But invention liberates the possibilities in extension.
The microscope, the telescope, the theoretic probe,
Reconsiderations of the obvious in subtilities that snap
The bindings of tradition's trap that mistakenly encodes
Rigidities of authorities to enchain the vital freedom to explore.
.
The tingle tangle jangle of this most energetic universe may be a curse
To minds subdued to delusions of monolithic ancient thought petrified,
Endeared in rote exercise of fear to cower with cowardice of the inscrutable.
But actuality provides no favorites for antique faiths that crumble in utility.
As life itself perennially illustrates, novelty alone cannot subdue the crush of time
Which juggernauts its forces into explosive monstrosities to destroy all opposition.
Resilient life is safely companioned with death to clear away with cruelty all mistakes.
It endlessly recreates to survive, to hold on in its struggle to remain alive.
It's most obvious there is never any guarantee.
