" New Optimism "

New optimism
felt keenly
and quickly
challenging
conventional
thinking
from behind
the scenes
teasingly frolicking
published anonymously
as both tantalizingly rich
and haphazardly hapless
across jagged expanses
of crackled dirt
speckled with saguaros
as the biggest draw
for straddling borders
divided by walls
over time immemorial
foaming water corridors
detained and deported
armored checkpoints
trespassing on lawns
green galaxies spinning
as unsatisfactorily
conjured quantum cosmology
like stick shifts slipping
incarnately begging to differ
via rotational symmetry
minus equilibrium
twisting and contorting
walling in gnarled quarks
atoms falling apart
into sharded
protons and neutrons...
