Chaos Theory poem 2011

Chaos Theory
Upon the occasion of another birthday

April 5, 2011

Chaos theory claims connection
with creativity
Issues in infancy indicate imagination
a writer’s paradise
Yet those who have sought control
Meticulous measure
 Color compulsion to combat anxiety
Breathing focus
All these pale in comparison to chaos
of thought, of action
Family dysfunction, fantasies to fruition
Wall postings
Tell truth, tell all, testimony of mental torture
As caretaker
All information breeds chaos to wellness

As of wellness
A lifetime of attempts to order a chaotic world
Sixteen measure phrases
Rondos, variations, ostinatos
Patterns, continued
Motions, choreographed
Alliteration to allies, annual installments
Poetry for prayer
Form becomes art
Creativity breeds connection
Connection becomes communication
Communication turns chaos into creativity
Chaos as creativity?
Ah, no-
I differ in this regard
Creativity creates communication
a form of prayer
A creative answer
a letting go of order in a chaotic world.
