Aleph Neuroses

there are trees older than photography still living
& dormant seeds of technology in newborns' minds
just as construction workers feel free without helmets
growing long beards cultivates wisdom
the symbol for Cantorian transfinite numbers
is the first—silent—letter of the Hebrew alphabet
& I continue to wear a watch
externalizing my horror hidden in time
