This week’s poem, oh my gosh, is a wonder. It’s like wine in a fine glass. Where a three-quarter of it is enough to sip and roll the eyes.

Not only by Tobi Akinpelu

Not only does it have a pattern,
Everything is in a pattern, and yet no pattern.

You can link it to history.
Someone else has done it before,
Yet, my-your 
own is different.

The duality of existence is magnetic; the topic catches with a firm grip
That one thing can be confirmed and also be false,
It all depends on the perspective.
Up is down.

Imagine a hundred heads inside a 
good square alignment switches on their head bulb glow.
This is not the skin of that side.
It’s like how milk and 
light mix together perfectly—

difficult to imagine.

But there is someone, something; I can’t describe it,
That we long after, and that —is Living!

Now shall we get to the news?
