HAVING A MOMENT

for TB

Happenings that happen,

cropping up idiosyncratically

when least expected:

a wheel gets stuck,

a circuit that goes on a blip,

conduits, tubing, hydraulics

and laser-sealed electronic devices

that have a moment,

as if out of mischievous intent,

or somehow affected by and responsive to human input 

• as if needing a breather,

a re-think.

I reflect how, once upona time

shaking a recalcitrant bicycle pedal,

banging a sewing machine,

even swearing at a car that wouldn't start,

seemed to work!

Sure evidence of the concord, singularity and unanimity of Matter

and the radiance of radiation

 as described by Einsteinian

equations.

Even latter-day Quantum Moments and Mechanics 

not excluded!

It’s all gloriously uncertain,

randomness and paradox

at home and at resting peace

within Opposites,

needing interactive flow,

momentum, gravity - 

plus conscious Observers,

 to complete the loop.
