The color of a stolen coat.
The IQ of an origami
Tesseract.
Obscurity hung by a crag, by its metaphors.
And if the puddles ask, smile.
In this mystery, not even totality
Covers all the bases.
Paradoxes are natural.

Great set of lines:
“The IQ of an origami
Tesseract.”
Gotta love that last word. 🙂

Wow! this is hardcore surrealism but fascinating ; I could try to decode it but that would only spoil its fun; hey, I’m in for another read, not for clarity but for delight, wallowing in that puddle of paradoxes 🙂

Haha. Thanks for the wonderful comment. Yea, I agree, it’s not so much about meaning, but just fun with words. Thanks again. Really glad you like it. Now you have me thinking of puddles of paradoxes.

The color of the stolen coat is my favourite line. For some reason it captures and brings the entire mystery down to earth – for a moment. And the puddle… I’m still smiling.

Thanks, Chris. I’m glad you liked it. Kind of a strange one, but I’m glad it worked. And a smile.

Another keen collection of images — summed up nicely by the last stanza, which I feel can describe your other poems, too. Also, that puddle line is going to stick with me for a while. With lots of rain here, I will surely see many puddles, and I’ll smile at them 🙂

Thanks, Dave. Lots of rain here too. So lots of chances of smiling. I’m glad you liked this one. And what you said about the last line, that made me smile. Thanks!

This brilliant! What I aspire at when stringing together snippets of text to create Found Poetry. But you find these words all within your own mind!!

Thank you! I’ve always enjoyed found poetry. Also, I’m a big fan of what you do on your blog. Though a lot of the math goes over my head. Which is why I like it as much as I do.

Thanks a lot! I try to create art that speaks for itself even if you do not know all the math! Or it is just enigmatic like poetry 🙂

Yes, it works even without knowing the math,

I’ve tried drawing cubes before but they always turn into bed versions of a tree which makes the last line about paradoxes very much a relief. I very much enjoy the question marks that run through so many of your poems, like glimpses into life’s complexities – “not even totality Covers all the bases,” and there ain’t much better than a baseball reference in a poem

I don’t think we’ll ever get our heads wrapped around all these is to know. Which is a good thing. Glad you liked the baseball reference.
