Impossible Object

I have an image in mind which I don't actually, entirely feel this poem addresses/ illustrates. The image is rhombuses, overlapping and sort of cascading.


Another, similar image are the Penrose Stairs (Thanks SMO...), which, upon putting the name to the recollection, I duly wiki'd. That was where I harvested much of the terminology; Impossible Object, conflicting proportions, etc.


The title and last line come from The End by The Doors, one of the bestest songs ever. Some content comes from Simple Twist of Fate by Dylan.

Elaborate Plans



At once descending and rising


a spark tingle to the bones


an Impossible Object


neon burning bright


mere two-dimensional depiction


light busting through


conflicting proportions


the visual paradox


conical future, naturally expanding


mathematically beautiful


infinite and promising


so limitless and free.
