The Universe Writes A Poem Poem by Paul Hartal

The universe is a poet.

She looked at him
with a forgiving smile.
How would you know that?

Well, the credo flows
from the unity
of the knower and the known,
he said.

Besides,
symmetry involves reciprocity.
And the holographic qualities
of the cosmos imply
that just as the poet
is part of the universe,
the universe is part
of the poet, too.

So, when a poet writes a poem
the universe writes its own.
