Mandelbrot Metaphysics
“Mandelbrot's discoveries
could change the way we
look at the world, and, by
extension, the way we
look at poetry”—Alice Fulton
It’s not expected—there’s no drama
The downward prolix—growth of beaches
Seashores—no brimstone footnotes
More like a pervasive—movement
Without wind—weeping crocodile tears
Seascapes of energy—bottomless pits
Vermilion topographies—intricate textures
Elysium Fields—emerald as green Jello
Disney-esque—animations Vaseline smooth
Saline caves—grottos & graveyards
Ages of falling—never landing
Downward—pixel-driven sculptures
Things—permanently reiterating
Out of kilter, whack—on the blink
As seen thru—virtual voodoo
Free will—comes down to
Dizzying fractals—pull the blinds
Let the eye—see new meanings
