Infinite Improbability
It was the Infinite Probability Drive
that enabled the discovery.
And once discovered
it could not be
undiscovered.
Nothing can be.
Now,
in the future,
another lucky accident
is enabling another discovery,
a means of calculating the probability
of everything.
It is something,
if not everything,
that we need to know.
Soon we shall probably,
or improbably,
know why.

Night Light
There are light spaces in the dark
Places for light to shine through,
for stars to dance,
for neons to cast
their artificial glow.
Hidden places where glowworms
call to their mates.
And the infinite space where lightning cuts
through the night time storm like glass
and finds a home
in some dark
place and lights
it up.
