Little Ripples Intersect

Most like a living being

Of all manifestations

Of the inorganic world,

Vaughan Cornish proclaimed the wave.

And maybe that’s all there is

Then, to life, the mystery.

The simile goes both ways.

Finally figure out waves,

Fully understand the waves,

And you’ll solve life in those waves.

You already know it’s both

Whatever it is to be,

Whatever it is can leave.

You already know it shares

This bothness with waves measured.

It’s the bothness you haven’t

Gotten a handle on, yet.

It doesn’t come with handles,

And it’s hard to handle it.

There’s a twoness to oneness

And an absence in between.

It makes you just want to scream.

The scream makes a living wave,

Most like a living being.
