Excerpt from "The Improbable Notebook ..."
The flash of intuition,
space & time seen in a vision --
he fingers the key to the galaxy,
he feels the smooth metal
of the common laser,
he looks at the haphazard art
of the wires, the emitter;
he sees where the particles change,
where the future might crumble.
Excerpt from "Improbable Jane"
"A threat? You think Jane Doe
would give you a glance?
she's a dynamo
she will untie the world.
You damn her to convulsions
but you don't even know
who she is."
