Gemini
Gemini 1
Through the mind you see two of everything
as if within a mirror
playing mental doubles
Gemini 2
Flash forward is a mashup of fiction
and futurism before
we forget how to write
Gemini 3
A tunnel is constructed underneath
a mountain, demonstrating
suspended disbelief
Gemini 4
Why divide the table with a runner
unless the family style
dishes are too messy
Gemini 5
From the viewpoint of a crane you can look
up versus down at the ground
to avoid spectacle
Gemini 6
Speculation is fool’s gold, quicksilver,
if you are seeking the real
listen under cover
Gemini 7
There is a package arriving for you
and the contents are bigger
than you were expecting
Gemini 8
This is the hour to stop milling around,
walk into the teeming street
and converse with strangers
Gemini 9
Listening to two people at once seems
impossible; however
we were given two ears
Gemini 10
The mime forgets the mirror and creates
reality from their mind
frothing and thick with wit
Gemini 11
It is called phyllium giganteum
a bug posing as a leaf
identity mimic
Gemini 12
It is time to take a very long bow
and sashay your way right out
of this narrative line
Gemini 13
A virtuoso is not by nature
virtuous despite blessings
heaped on them like flowers

or exponent calling cards
of infinite decay

you from slowing down to think
about another route
Gemini 16
Praise is another form of devotion
culled from lifetimes of struggle
livelier than prayer
Gemini 17
The oracle spins riddles from a booth
pulsing with the mysteries
of how we came to be
Gemini 18
An elm and a yew tree have been leaning
across the path in the woods
bent in conversation
Gemini 19
The carousel deals nothing but the chips
unless you edit movies
or play monopoly
Gemini 20
A color wheel typically has twelve
spokes arraying from red to
orange and in between
Gemini 21

you gain a third perspective
besides the meeting point
Gemini 22
There is a way to coordinate so
the exchange of services
is complementary
Gemini 23
Remember when they taught us how to sing
three part harmony in waves
of choral undertones
Gemini 24
The old briefcase separated papers,
the new backpack is compact
as nonbinary code
Gemini 25
Sometimes you will swoon to the voice alone
other times it’s the cadence
inside the broken line
Gemini 26
Some day it will all make sense, when puzzle
edges meet in a circle
and stories reconnect
Gemini 27
Remember there is another dyad
a pair of twins forgotten
in the realm beyond death
Gemini 28
If we can see from both sides then we know
truth is hiding in plain sight
disguised uncertainty
Gemini 29
You are given too many opinions
and grapple with decisions
when facts are what you seek
Gemini 30
Tender is not the word for pulp fiction
nor the epic narratives
overheard at the store
