Architecture of Vertical Seeking Horizontal

I make coffee and look up the word equivocation
finding its juxtaposition
next to erection
beneath equestrian
(complete with photo of horse and rider)

it occurs to me
all these patterns of duplication
where one person seeks reflection
in thought, word, and deed
to quote another ancient text

mind's answer to the indignation
discovering what we truly fear --
no one out there can tell us
what's in here.

Coffee is ready though.
That's enough.

I was just rereading this... struck again by the title... and reading again, liked it even more, a month later.
