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 perfectlyβ€”

difficult to imagine.

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

Now shall we get to the news?
