By Richard Mather
I am nothing and you are nothing.
but the relation between us
isn’t nothing.
Infinitesimally small differences
establish the continuity
between our discrete bodies.
Intensive or extensive?
Unity thought as plurality
or plurality as unity?
I can’t decide.
(Either way we take up space and time.)
We are two thought as one
and one thought as two.
If a complete synthesis
is beyond us, remember this:
In God’s infinite understanding
we know just a little,
and a little is sometimes enough.
