Probabilities after this world Barbra Nightingale


Think about change. Think random. Think equation. Think event and reinvention. Do a balancing act, separated by a fine line of rationality. Think analogy, think this is to this as sanity is to nuts.


Salted or not only tips the fulcrum briefly, not a permanent effect. Stack on the scale things to be weighed: decisions whose cost is dear. Words once light, now driven underground. An argument no one is having. What is the likelihood, truly that I'll be where I am the same time you're where you are, listening to the wind going grey all things being equal?


Barbra Nightingale's latest book, Two Voices, One Past, was a runner up in the Yellow Jacket Press chapbook contest and was published in 2010. Previous books include: Geometry of Dreams (2009), Singing in the Key of L (1999) The Ex-Files (2009), and several other chapbooks. She had a poem on Narrative Magazine's Poem of the Week, June, 2010, and has had over 200 poems appearing in journals and anthologies. She teaches English, literature, Poetry, and leadership at Broward College where she was awarded the Sun-Sentinel Endowed Teaching Chair, and a Professor of the Year award, both in 2010.
