Theory Of Anything (Free verse) by Blue Magpie
The wind carries it's knives hidden in the folded spaces of a mathematician's 9-dimensional dream. Meticulously it uses them to carve endlessly exquisite crystals from the great ice realms of the sky; beautiful and unique they inevitably fall. Snow, like the rest of the world, is an illusion, but this is irrelevant. The important thing is to cut the right wire when defusing the time-bomb of inherited misperceptions before the imploding mass of our own ignorance robs us forever of any true sense of its ethereal beauty.

Up the ladder: foolish phil
Down the ladder: Only in humility

why do i have a problem with the wind carving snowflakes? it irritates me. i am such a realist. why can't i warp my mind around a logical twist? ugh.

anyway, i like it. but i think the strongest part is
"The important thing
is to cut the right wire
when defusing the time-bomb".

but then, i also think that that's a separate poem. the ideas aren't melded enough for me, in this poem's current state. hope that helps.
