The Poetry of Mark Daniel Milbocker 
Transcendental Equivocation

>Lay your aspirations across the shadowfall
of giants lumbering over bee-laden worlds 
mesmerized by the smoke of asymptotic tracings
that line up with our microbic ommatidia
after a fashion and but for a time until they
coalesce into so much expressionistic tinder
miming out whale sound formulae of passing
celestial bodies whose names span a thousand
grunts of miscontrued understandings leather
bound in our million monkey lexicons of 
impotent exponents that occasionally capture
the bloom of an epiphenomenal eclipse or
predict the habits of the congenial progenitors
whose dark matter peppers the frustrated 
universality of our chimeric rush to the

unterminated explosion of ringed halos
spreading unity into waves of particle rain
frustrated by the lightness of bosons 
unbothered by the looming allfathers
whose name spans the lexicon with a grunt
passing for a charcoal pyre unburned
stick-traced by the proboscised millipedity 
of myriad attempts at the asymptotic
abuzz with the untrodden who dance in the
darkness of serendipity forever aspiring<
