The Illusion of the Linear---- Wednesday 10/11/2006

Frayed quantum ribbons freefall backward
connecting like so much spiritual filament
fleeting moments tiny worlds unseen pathways
each entirety, self-contained each entity
corporeal only insomuch as a journey casting
pale shadows of solidity can be
considered substance.

Sentience, only a series of perceived changes
in direction. Grasping backwards
creates the past. Time is only space.
in very tiny increments,
but only movement, one direction or the other.
The rest is evolutionary biology
adaptations superimposed upon particles
and waves existing merely to facilitate functionality.

All souls, are lost souls.
Immortality, and the illusion of the linear.
Consciousness, cherished self-awareness
holy of holies all this crazy pride and
struggle is no more than connected dots,
flapping broken temporal strings
blowing backwards in ionic voids.

no less than the madness of the divine.
