the earth in half by Pune Dracker

JUDY

“Google Judy Wood” someone has written on the locked Dumpster
on the 8th Avenue-bound L platform, SE corner of 14th & First.
That someone was in an imperative mood—
In my head I hear (you) and say:
Okay.

I walk the platform to the last car, wonder if it’s too late
to take a photo of “Google Judy Wood” so I don’t forget.
With 0 minutes remaining until the train arrives, it’s too late.
I write a note to remind myself.

BUTTER

I wonder who believes in the laws of physics.
“The Towers did not burn up, nor did they slam to the ground,”
says Judy D. Wood, PhD, expert of measuring
how materials respond to forces placed on them.
“They turned (mostly) to dust in mid-air.”

“Pulverized in mid-air and simply blew away on the breeze.”
“The plane moved through the building like a knife through butter.”

I don’t feel right now, writing those words.
But Dr. Wood is a scientist using science
to prove that what happened to the World Trade Center site on 9/11
was caused by some kind of nuclear reaction.

Directed Energy Weapons.

When the Dumpster Writer wrote “Google Judy Wood,”
I wonder what they wanted us to do next.
When I read that Dr. Wood said:

Man has in his hands a method of disrupting the molecular basis for matter
and the ability to split the earth in half on a moment’s notice.
The technology that was demonstrated on 911 can split the earth in half or
it can be used to allow ALL people to live happily ever after with free energy

it did, it does still
scare me.

VORTEX

The term ticker taper
refers to someone who “might see mentally
the spoken words displayed in front of his face,”
automatically visualize spoken word or thoughts.

I wake up on the morning after Judy Wood and inside my head I see in a 36-point type:

______ IS A VORTEX

Obvious answers
come quickly: first Death
and Love soon after.

I am unsure what a vortex is, other than it may whir
like a dust devil

Vortices occur in stirred fluids. Once formed
they stretch, twist, interact.

A vortex can be benevolent, as evidenced by milk in a cup of coffee.

BURNS

Two mornings after Dr. Judy Wood I wake
to ticker tape:
My love is like a red, red rose
Is it?

“A Red, Red Rose,” says Robert Burns, is “a simple old
Scots song which I had picked up in the country.” Once
described as a combination of “tenderness and swagger.”

(OR wild wild horses)

WRECK

On the morning of July 7 I ran past a wrecked car on the Manhattan side
of Brooklyn Bridge Park. Someone had
bashed in a window and written on the door:
Love Me
You could tell that someone was in an imperative mood—
In my head I hear (you) and say:
I do.

As summer deepened
doors were opened
trunk popped
steering wheel discombobulated
tires vaporized
windows shattered

what’s left of the car gently turned to face the World Trade Center.

FALL

On the first day of fall I ran to my car on the Manhattan side
of Brooklyn Bridge Park. Someone must have
towed it away, maybe threw it into the East River,
all that remained, a red taillight.
I left the note I’d brought:

Till a’ the seas gang dry, my dear,
And the rocks melt wi’ the sun;
I will luve thee still, my dear,
While the sands o’ life shall run.

LUVE

Is there a difference between telling someone you love them and saying that you luv them? I read but don’t believe that if someone uses the word ‘luv’ instead of ‘love,’ they’re afraid of the emotional significance of LOVE.

What if more afraid means the more
you mean it?

VERTEX

“When two or more vortices are close together, they can merge to make
a vortex. If the energy is never removed, it would consist of circular motion forever.”

A vertex is not a vortex, although it is the highest point of something

DUST

This is what dust is made of:

plant pollen
human hairs
animal hairs
textile fibers
paper fibers
human skin cells
burnt meteorites
many other materials which may be found in the local environment
