‘Two cultures’ poems

Backwards and forwards learning

Backwards and forwards learning contributes to who I am.
Neither the microscope nor the telescope quite help me in the focus with which I wish to see.

Backwards and forwards learning contributes to who I am.
We live between the microscope and telescope.




A Little Spartan

I am a little Spartan.
I retreat from Market forces, Ego and Ivory Towers.
I do not attack, but vulnerably question.
Neither science nor art can divide Little Sparta.


Somewhere between:

 gut-reaction
A N D
Matter-of-fact.

Now
A N D
the moment that has passed since I thought of ‘now’

words
A N D
numbers
Do not begin to tell you where you might find me.





Pupil.

I am a circle,
you are a
SQUARE.

I see shapes,
you saw
COLOUR.

You are the past,
I am
NOW.

I am tired of roundabouts!
Give me a bridge!
Let us cross together
towards the middle distance of an idea:
learning from life in a different way.
