Mobeus Strip

Write a poem based on the concept or idea of a "Mobeus strip".

If you're like me and don't know much about this, Make it up!

*If you *want to* you can connect your poem to other poems already posted. I say that because I did that, in keeping (sort of, maybe?) with the Mobeus Strip idea. Maybe you can execute it more successfully than I!

  1. i believe i have found
    the secret to interstellar space travel:

    make the timing belt out of a mobeus strip

    so we never leave, we never arrive,
    we always are all, the one sided cycle

  2. It was a one sided cycle,
    untraceable on the cold bar

    "With a twist" you say,
    and we never leave

    when it arrives
    you stir sardonically,
    and I can't keep my outsides in

    you half math, me double space
    interstellar belief
    and a found object, looped
    around and around your waste.

  3. around and around,
    stuck in her orbit,
    he recycles phrases

    opens insides to her
    then inverts again
    in a one-sided cycle:

    non-orientable,
    the property of surfaces,
    a twisted infinity.

    Here we go!
    Oh! I'm back again

    Up in the air
    Oh! down under

    Whee! it's a wild ride
    whoosh to the underside

    Let's try a twist
    through stellar hoops

    Loop de loop
    where "loup" is wolf

    man wolf to man
    wolf man to wolf

    Off the roof
    and back again!
    ____________
    "loup" French for "wolf"

  5. The Mobeus Strip is listing
    Sending one, all over and over
    Model twisted without edge
    Ants traversed in handedness
