What made the difference
that need, the mother of invention
causes us to extend our visions
one may say extended those limits
one says
a stretch of the imagination
as far as the mind will go
that terrestrial minds can leap
into an infinite future
content to say one has lived
pittance for the poor that asked
joy for ones with summer cottages
room to think of more than survival

what made the difference
from an investigatory past,
the invention of fire?
a flame for all seasons
gunpowder?
controlled in firecracker form
or more explosive versions
pittance for the poor of spirit to ask
what of the limits that are stretched
to test a new walk on another planet
to patent an analgesic in a cream
rub and joint pain goes away
but to invent just enough
to keep the curious mind
from knowing more...
about limits to be broken
and scandals to be raised.


what made that difference
but the differences between
upheavals in limit discourses
acceptance of change, diversity
but alas that runs along
cloak and dagger acts
stab the inventor in the back
he's about to succeed
but for party controls
the difference in who controls what
and the inventor is left alone
to bother himself about forboding forces
that line the limits of backstage
ready for the new discoveries...

And this is how it is. A mind ventures forth, out of need, or with imagination in full bloom, creation comes, the creator is left behind the curtain, to make his next discovery. I like this write.

One never really knows what invention will occur down the road...but the process unfolds as concepts grow and merge...
