A Manifesto for Scientific Poetics

Voltage, V; Current, I; Resistor, R; and Ohm’s Law.
Less known to our forefathers: Electric Charge is the property of subatomic particles.
Thales was the one who aimed at it first; then there was Pliny the Elder.
Why go so far and yonder when we have our man Franklin
And his fortunate-fated experiment?
Ampère, Faraday, or, say, J.C. Maxwell—
who added a few bricks to the shifting paradigm.
Now Microwave, elusive to all light spectrums, is in our kitchen.
cooking meals for us!

But to see even American poetry too dogged, too distant,
so deprived of these reaches of Time—
My heart burns in its innermost hexagon.
When will our creative posterity, whom we are so eager
to pass over this department-trove, perceive
that expansive horizon
where Wordsworth's emotion escapes attention,
And Time and its coeval Space be put at the center?

My heart clamors: TODAY IS THE DAY!
