                    sliced
                 and whole
               a cleaved life
             in flux cast dice
           state of non being
         potential in between
        eternity's randomness
       flip a coin up into the air
      unpredictability flies there
     alternate reality hints upon
     <+><•><•>•<<+>>•<•><+>
     parallel universes going on
       realistically just one path
        life’s inevitable no math
         untangled observation
           spit out my creation
             god particle sown
              new baby grown
                chop the cord
                   use sword
                      spliced
                        \      /
                          \  /

Sara Jama Date: 8/29/2025 9:35:00 AM The depth of your poem bleeds through your words. Life is just random isn't it. A cosmic coin flip as which way it will go. Fate isn't predetermined it's just a series of random occurences. The choices we make. "spit out my creation god particle sown," I absolutely love this line. Brillant write.

I believe that it exists in all of the cosmos. It's very intriguing. If it were to be proven true the implications would be massive. There's so much left unanswered and so much more to explore through quantum physics. If scientists could figure out how we could unlock the rest of our brain power, who knows what answers we would find. David Kavanagh Date: 8/29/2025 2:12:00 PM Your more than welcome, its just what freethinking poets do, put our deepest existential thoughts out there, and hopefully connect with like minded people, there’s some powerful new theories coming on line as to the role of consciousness being woven into the very fabric of reality, which makes perfect sense to me anyway! Sara Jama Date: 8/29/2025 1:13:00 PM I have always been interested by quantum theory and also the existence of alternative realities and parallel time lines. The cosmic vastness that has yet to even be touched by our minds is just so intelligently stimulating. Thank you for this write. David Kavanagh Date: 8/29/2025 12:37:00 PM Heya Sara, thanks so much for tackling this one head on, indeed on the face of it life certainly appears random rather than predetermined, other than by the choices we make, yet at a cosmic quantum level (potential) always exists in one form or another, potential for more chaos, or potential for another universe sliced and spliced together, and so forth ad infinitum, as for me all I know for sure is, I’m here because I have to be here, this one was very enjoyable to write, and I was delighted with the shape of my imagined eternity spitting me out into the madness, cheers David

Tom Woody Date: 8/28/2025 1:41:00 PM Hmmm... Kinda looks like a hot air balloon with a leak. Yipe! Interesting etheree Login to Reply Tom Woody Date: 9/1/2025 2:05:00 PM But... It does kinda look like a leaking balloon. Sigh David Kavanagh Date: 8/31/2025 2:18:00 PM I only write about my own personal beliefs and don’t promote anything whatsoever, I have no agenda nor a member of any organisation, if readers find my posts cryptic, thought provoking, or even outlandish abominations, I will always explain the rationale behind them in comments, but don’t expect to come along with your disdainful comment above, and expect me to show you any respect! Tom Woody Date: 8/31/2025 11:52:00 AM Ok I will never go along with your agnostic philosophy, which you promote at every turn. That said, it doesn't take away from the fact you are a decent poet, writing thought provoking verse. And if you like my black hole stuff, by all means let me know Tom Woody Date: 8/31/2025 11:51:00 AM Warps David Kavanagh Date: 8/31/2025 6:34:00 AM That coin took a long time to stop spinning, almost 48 hours, I suppose your excuse, when examining black holes time dilates; Tom Woody Date: 8/30/2025 2:34:00 PM Oof! Tails sorry. Prostate exam anyone? David Kavanagh Date: 8/29/2025 1:52:00 AM Just make sure it’s a coin you didn’t swindle at some poor sucker’s hall door! Tom Woody Date: 8/28/2025 6:34:00 PM Let me flip a coin. Heads I critique tails I have more fun... David Kavanagh Date: 8/28/2025 3:47:00 PM Hot air and shapes is all I see coming from you, why not show the reader you have real balls, and take my Etheree apart! Tom Woody Date: 8/28/2025 3:23:00 PM Yes the intelligence is overwhelming. Gosh!
