Horizon
Warping pulling Singularity Massive and dense Astronaut mulling Such a dear rarity
Weird and counterintuitive Herculean gravity One cannot escape The matter punitive Heavy depravity
Even such as light Cannot escape Its stubborn grasp One can fight and fight Alas, agape
Time is slow In the vicinity Accelerated frame The horizon your foe Ageless serenity
Is it a gateway? To another dimension? Hypotheses vary What is the safe play? Dissension
Exotic indeed Who could have imagined That we here today Would have been freed To see such things happen

Linguistic
Welcome to the realm linguistic Perfect if you're atavistic Find yourself a lingua franca From Kathmandu to Casablanca
English, Spanish, French and Thai You speak them all? Oh my, oh my How about the Bushman clicks? Or the sharp, wry tongue of the Sikhs?
There are a few, yes, it is true For whom command is nothing new A talent for such feats of speech Beats the pidgin's awful screech
Russian, Farsi, Hebrew, Dutch Revert to Latin in the clutch Mandarin -- and Flemish, too Our languages are like a zoo!
At least in name, but not really They don't speak animal in Chile What on Earth is Navajo? There's nowhere for the noun to go!
Elegance, concision, grace Make a tongue good on its face But underneath, what is the truth? Wholeness or fragmented sooth?

She lit the sky on fire Radiating her desire Burning my eyes, Igniting my soul A friendly reminder I do admire...
Twinkle twinkle little star I know you are A pulsar And I'll be happy When I'm dead But you're already Light-years ahead of me...
She set the sky ablaze With electromagnetic waves And dances amongst the cosmic rays Waiting for the day When I decay And we meet again To dance In the celestial ballet

Cubensis, Cubensis I know I will be led to you. You want to come home with me, I feel you calling. I want you for me. Let us be reunited. How would it be? Would I be in town? In the outskirts? Walkibg along swiftly, mapping out the grie, systematically combing, I want rain, tropical rain, rain every day. To feel enclosed in a dome, earths mega fruiting chamber. Would I sporeprint you? Would I clone you? Would I? Sporeprint the cap in a sterile jar Wrap the stipe in aluminum foil; take the first fast ride home Take you with me the minute, run back straight to my lab! Smile on our faces Can you imagine witnessing the rhizomorph on petris? Realize the fruiting on trays of sheep manure! Little children, fairy children You want to be with me. Youve been waiting Too long. Now is ours.

Grey is the colour. Blurred is the clarity. Self awareness lover. Self indulgent charity.
Convinced of definition. Seperation of truths. Absolute reality supposition. Subconscious cut aloof.
"Its charming to ponder" A defeated brush stroke. No carts sent asunder. Only proven words spoke.
The smaller they can "see". The closer they must be. The chaos of the miniscule. Dicrediting isomorphic ridicule.
When do we stop. Where does it begin.

Why can't we dream. Why can't we speak with utopian theme. Why does eqaulity have to exist only in the minds of the timid. When the brutal status qou pools insipid.
Confined by the omnipresent reality. I know that sounds like insanity. But why restrict our expectations. Letting the past define futures inclinations.
When we speak about society to come. Let us be free of this structured humdrum. Think as though all may be possible. May your innermost thoughts become audible.

Inky Bits
I do not wish to forget So I write down all I can When I am not doing that I am saving thoughts
Computers come in handy For such immortality When hard drives crash One's thoughts die with them
We rearrange reality To suit whatever purpose Our brains exteriorize While we extemporize
These rearranged molecules Teach us to remember Otherwise we would forget how And awkwardly dredge nothing
If we wish to be more spare And perhaps more old-fashioned We can write a word or two To produce inky bits
Like an extension of awareness These bits only have meaning When we read them back, later We are changing reality and changing mind
What power we have When we are able to do this Altering the world, in order to Alter our own consciousness

Her spirit shines... In a trance, I'm hypnotized Trying to read the signs, The constellations That sparkle within her eyes Subtle and sublime, My Earthly worries subside And fade away As night turns to day Her spirit shines Brighter than a billion suns Falling from the sky, As the photons ride Along my war-torn spine Her spirit shines As the stars align A spectral beauty I'm unable to define

A Mother's Tear
before silence, there was a sound to utter infinity a baby and her mother's tear coinciding into places alone the wolf's jaws loose the tether you can see the eyes in the mare of the moon the oceans roll over our cities and our hills run lutarious into a broken mine-shaft of golden night

Hologram
Projected from the boundary The limitless divine Constructor of the cosmos On your truth I opine
What's real and what isn't Is up for some debate Is life one or dual? Hard to get it straight
Perception is a trickster Local, limited Mutable, illusory A split infinitive
For all intents and purposes We'll call it "real," though A word, a thought, a fleeting sound A phenomenal glow
Treat all forms as explicate Unfolded from the source Duality sloughs easily No trifle, though, of course
Take whatever you can get From perceptive faculties Fill a setting, take a set And do being with ease

Semi-Sentient Hormonal Impetus
from my place of sadness the shape that wills, yet does not keep it's gladness thrown to my place of ire into the gates of will and thy heart's desire for the necessity is thy will!
at this point to strike at the crucible this is what lengths we've come we have too many people, old and young that have long since abandoned their roots (leapt from) but for desires and cannot slake their thirst!

Fuck the south
Ive not been there Spent most time up here In snow and in rain In sloth and in vain
But I here that its shit Atleast most parts of it The south is a dump Alabame heat fries young minds
And the eyes of its dwellers Beady and small, sitauted between sweat Yes I still dont regret That ive not been to the south
* garbage but id like to modify it when im more lucid

Without an answer to it all ever. You will be constantly deluded, just to feel better. With the base never defined, understood or measurable. Every thing after that is merely self indulgent, purpose pleasurable. How do the most fundamental questions always fall on deaf ears. How can they believe their solving it whilst being no closer after all these years. Why cant they admit when inevitably being confounded. Building on false assumptions will mean nothingness compounded.
How can we ignore that the ethereal conciousness of our reflections. Mirror closely the massive and minute quantum interactions. To look out. To be free. To have doubt. Peek inside to see.

Was thinking bout the troubles you have been having even broaching the subject with a few....its a big red button for a lot of people. For me these questions and non answers are a warm embrace.
As you well know some of the "greatest" scientific theories came from a bedrock of philosophical meanderings. It seems like a few here have read the textbook but never looked up the authors.

Very well said, I sympathize completely. These ideas are not widely understood, and bringing them up can trigger confusion, which leads to misunderstanding. I think your poem is a clear window onto the fundamentals.
