Ars Longa, Vita Brevis (from Glen)

A glance, a heartbeat,
the delicious parts
of a machine.
The falling of a leaf.
Streams running to the sea.

Their preciseness lies
finite and whole,
seen through many doors:
Periodic table, canvas, syntax,
the same unity. Different forms.

These are not just shadows.
but a world. Science sees,
art feeds the physical with creativity.
Is not this writing real?
It could only be.
