By Richard Mather
Being extended, it is temporal; it endures from
Adam to Caliban and beyond.
And being spacetime it is neither one nor many,
but gives rise to the singular and the plural,
to one face and many faces, differential aspects of
the selfsame Spirit in stillness and in movement,
in waves and in frozen solids.
Repetition of the big things, the novelty of the small,
And in us all infinite desire, which makes us godlike.
