Many Coffees Go Cold - Reality Explained

the things you both see you all see is merely a continuity safeguard one of the laws written in to prevent chaos we can't have multiple lifeforms occupying the same space all seeing and experiencing something different it just wouldn't work so we've set impulses to align where and whenever possible sure as hell easier when you lot are on your own takes a heap of pressure off the system that way we suspend everyone else they're not needed you don't surely think they're individually living do you no, just on hold, paused until you're no longer on your own then we have our work cut out again and many coffees go cold

Hmm, woww! This poem put me into deep thought-provoking mode and I kept on wondering on so many things! Quite a profound and insightful write which reflects so many instances in a poetically intelligent way... True, we can't have so many lifeforms and can't experience everything at once, & sometimes don't even realise which part of ourselves is acting in a particular situation. Being alone can reduce the pressure sometimes, we need to pause and reflect! I loveee that ending too.. Amazing!

I like your thought-provoking poem, Clive. If we only bring people and things into existence when we need them, then it certainly shouldn't surprise us when our needs are met. We control our individual realities, everything else with see is holographic until we need it. What we see is what we get ... I'm getting wordy for example. LOL Good poetry, my friend. We're going to get along just fine. A poet friend in Texas, Bill

Funny thing is I wrote this just before covid kicked off so then we went into lockdown in UK for months and I began to wonder if anyone existed at all! Thanks for reading Bill

a thought-provoking and deep write, Clive. What is reality? A convenience to prevent chaos? Hmmm...my mind is going nuts. Anyway, I do wonder if being alone would be easier, not confined by laws. Lots to ponder here. Have a pleasant evening, Sara

A very profound write that depicts that not everything is easy, or comes easy, sometimes the pressure is real to allow things to go smoothly, amidst laws being there to ensure smooth sailing, but maybe if we were alone would be less pressure. I like the sense of humor there when you mentioned many coffees go cold too. And also the depth of it. Pleasure reading this real talk

Yes a bit tongue in cheek about life's inner workings and reality, so glad you liked it IE

Well Einstein himself was uneasy with quantum mechanics but knew it was true so maybe no-one else exists except for when they're need to. Like computer characters when they exit the screen! Ooh.. Thanks for reading D. And reading it again!
