DANIEL'S WARNING: Ave Regnum!      
  mene mene the words of dread
tekel upharsin the king is dead
mene mene the fingers of fear
tekel upharsin Persia is near
but the Bridge resonates Today’s array
Media-Persia will not go away
An Einstein-Rosen bridge resounds
opens onto a corridor in time
a window a picture a canvas
history rappelling across a wall
then spiraling into another theater
vastly wide where the How and the Why
curved by mirrors that slither
toward the endless Inside chamber
an Einstein-Rosen shawl
to hover high beyond the seamless tides
here you must abide
if you would remain alive
     
Nabopollasar Nebuchadnezzar galleries,
Belteshazzar Darius Alexander rotundas
all floating vastly by
glide inside the endless Abide
it seems the Worthies are still alive, somewhere an axis spikes
within searching tides, pulsing quasar quantum rides—
could they walk ever beside the satraps, Daniel chides?
here you must decide
if you would remain alive
     
a space-time continuum echos
a reflection of Persian flowers
tunnels portents and bowers
the seamless blossom of hours
ricochets off ventricular walls
streaming into other stalls
where fiery Horsemen ride alive!
And the How and the Why beg to die
while the mobius strip dares to live
within a door ajar where near is far
you Horsemen—Hananiah Mishael Azariah—
gallop at a clip
here they abide
for they are alive
     
mene mene the words of dread
tekel upharsin the king is dead
mene mene the fingers of fear
tekel upharsin Persia is near
but the Bridge reverberates Today’s array
Media-Persia has gone astray.
