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

Hiya Sharma December 3, 2023 at 12:45 AM 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!

Bill Baker December 2, 2023 at 4:31 PM 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 Clive Culverhouse December 3, 2023 at 1:21 AM 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

Ink Empress December 2, 2023 at 4:38 AM 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 Clive Culverhouse December 2, 2023 at 5:54 AM Yes a bit tongue in cheek about life's inner workings and reality, so glad you liked it IE
