In-Between Cuddling

I am in my ground state
  something cuddling nothing
  tucked in with my stuff of dream
  myself and my companion
  my form, language, my logic
  my letter, symbol, my number
  my explanation, description, my stroke, my sound
  my noun, verb, my grammatical ingredient
  my information, data, my mathematical bit
  my measurement, my calculation
  my equation, graph, model, my relation
  my set, shape, dimension, my duration
  ......
  a scary process, solving myself


  I am in-between
  after the before and before the after
  poised curving through the curling pipe
  astride my transitory surf-board
  waves collapsing along the quantum shore
  smeared, wiped-out, flipped backwards
  into the probabilistic ocean or tumbled forward
  through surging foam, chaotic spray
  observing, informing, accelerating, colliding
  attributing, entangling, tracking, tracing
  momentum settling like a relativistic beached whale
  floundering in a tidal gravity well
  ......
  a scary experience, feeling myself


  welcome to our familiar world
  cosmos wrapped around our quantum cellar
  initial conditions inflating below
  embraced by the all-encompassing protoverse
  combining happenstance, fields of continuous creation
  spawning emergent intelligence
  the becoming gods, our transformative selves
  personality, memory, purpose
  feeding our bellies, mending our bodies and minds
  art, technology, history, adventure, achievement
  love, compassion, empathy, grieving
  imagination, procreation, celebration, failure
  ......
  a reassuring response, cuddling others
