Orion's Onion

Polygonal

It's an algorithm I'd say,
In an answer to a query,
Why do you write that way?
It's polygonal...
A polygonal algorithmic archetecture...
I begin with a pile of stones
And try to move them all
As close together as I can,
And so a variegated wall,
Sense from nonsense...
Bolivia's altiplano salt flats,
Inca's gone Atlantis...
Cracked drought dried lake and sea beds...
Inca's noted the algo,
Myceneans too with their cyclopean,
Egyptians  too,
Oh, everywhere,
Sometimes rough hewn
Sometimes impressively seamless
Turtle shells, alligator hide
Flat rain mud after a few days of sunshine,
Aged asphalt roads,
Those basalt devils' postpiles,
Molton magma cooled just so
Long ago
To Jupiter's aria swirling algo,
Saturn's musical hexagonal
Do re mi fa so la ti do.

Notes: rough hewn, I'd say, and easily on and on much more!

Orion's Onion

Time

Oh, what butterfly
Can sip from every flower in the meadow?
What honey bee fight,
Lay waste like Sampson?

Orion's Onion

Cares

If seeing cares
And cares see
Then what are we
That seldom share?

Orion's Onion

Pyramid Builders

They knew one another,
So it would seem,
As I knew of you.

Notes: I need to do a whole post about 'match cuts'...this poem is one...two things side by side...and the title isn't working...want to que the conceit with it somehow...that whole covergent diffusion back and forth...like the polygonal walls...some of the Egypt pyramids have black basalt poygonal floors nearby them...Black Decks!...go figure...simple as fitting together random shaped stones for a wall or some such...crocodile asphalt...oh...oldest running science demonstration experiment...an asphalt drip drop from a glass funnel...one drop takes decades to drip drop...

Seen

Oh,
It's what you wanted,
To be seen.
I see,
Begrudge me that?

Notes: youtube clips are a fascination...and too their 'comment tails'...I've taken to, and, and taken on the commentators!...what with the enigma lore I've gathered, I can sling things out...and google/youtube gives me an email headsup if there is a response  to my comment, or to a thread I've replied to...often I just reply with one word, 'yep, yes, noted, spot on, etc.'...there is heartfelt sincerety in some comments, and then there are the insincere, even deviously cruel ones...I try not to just poke a comment 'nest'...be rhetorical...hard not to, as most things I question I can web search up an answer...like tonight I pestered a thread to yet another clip about fake moonlandings...then went and looked up apollo program cameras, and moon dust...threads have been around since the beginning...at the start a few computer engineers traded emails about their efforts, making threads, forums...that's all old GEnie was, text threads, chat rooms...I was much a noob, and bullied about...so much so I give threads a wide berth...comments have a huge potential...they crowd source subjects...of late, I consider them prompts, for better or worse, and now and then, add my two bits worth😕

Found

A whole lot of it
Is, 'Look what I found!'
I mean, time was,
You know,
'Look what I found!'
Meant dinner.

DolphinWords

Notes:  thought to hibernate the  blog until baseball season...well, the enigmas until then...meanwhile, some this and that...I don't know the constellations, but noted Orion after sunset...
