Shuttlecock Time

by Mark Simpson

Ren Descartes, he claimed to think and be,
but all such metaphysic certainty
is not an option for the likes of me,
so many other choices do I see.

Do you hate most modern poetry? Do you appreciate clever wordplay, rhyme, and meter? Have you ever wondered what life is like for a minor prophet in Heaven, or whether badminton owes more to Einstein or to Newton? If so, you might like Shuttlecock Time. Never pretentious, rarely obscure, often humorous, occasionally with some sort of point or observation.
