Escher Ode

#1

What alien work is this, where so content is the senorita.

Now will she sit by this impossible edifice, and fold clothes

As if laws of space and time were not at all.

Maybe they don’t exist in this world, or are variable;

Maybe they change depending on where you look.

And what is it that she sees. Here would we be so quick to question

Such impossibility, but there water takes the flow

Followed by the eye, and thought nothing of it.

Never will these people be vexed by the conceptualization of limits.

They, trapped in the impossible picture are more free than we

Because they don’t spend hours looking at water

And following it up and down across and over the page.

One there can just accept it and live. And what beautiful gardens!

There once was a girl stuck in Escher

Who forever folded her sweater.

But when clothing is done, there’s nowhere to run

Cause running will go on for ever.


Perpetual stream

I follow fast with my eyes

But never catch up


What alien work is this, where so content

The senorita sits and folds her clothes.

Impossible edifice, where rivers vent,

The laws of space and time nobody knows.

Variable or non-existent in this place

It all depends on where you decide to look

And how you question “laws” of time and space.

Impossible, the never ending brook

The eye that traces will decide its course

“Such a pretty garden” one might think.

And wonder not of “what’s the river’s source?”
While free impossible is trapped by ink.

Follow flow across and down for hours

The time of feeble minded this devours
