A Box that Boxes It Self.

Can you Conceive of
(& Image) a Box that
Boxes iself?

The field can not
well be seen from
within the field.
Emerson

or could be
Theodore Roethke.

I’ve been watching bugs
on my new Jensen window
beat their heads against the
glass—wandering zig-zag
over the pane & then buzz
into air, corkscrew: land
back on the window to
crawl some more.

Convinced there’s an
exit somewhere if only
they keep following
their light.

“You can’t solve a problem
with the same mind that
created it,”

says Albert Einstein—or
some variation thereof.

There’s a sustainable and
maybe sustaining conversation
here somewhere waiting to be
had if only any one would
take the bait.

I expect Arthur C. Vining
et al might be obsessed by
this conundrum: how it is
the minding that makes the
problem is the minding
that sustains it.

Worth putting in play.
At least.
