2 more from the September poetry forum

taking it in turn sampling bits of Arthur Koestler's The Roots of Coincidence:

Mental influence on random events
are manifestations of a universal principle
what causality is up to, we think we know
yet the theory of an ocean of particles
through which the basic polarity manifests
the mystical concept of One-ness
even when very large numbers are involved
are, of course, manifested in different ways
on the shadow desk in front of me
the Lamarckian view is philosophically more attractive
in which dogs and cats seem to be aware
neo Darwinian déjà vu, almost inviolable
visual or auditory hallucinations
the theory of an ocean of particles of negative mass
serving as a subterranean pool which individual minds can tap
before he has actually moved his finger
a casual phenomenon
