My Passion

To pass through dura matter, leave the wilderness behind Exit above vast spaces, join imperceivable dots Have an out of body experience, each and every night Uncover reality, burn away banality Know why, observing a quanta gives it choice Place this very thought on weighing scales, does it contain mass Enter a singularity, ask why it occupies no space Fly backwards through eternity, and emerge straight ahead Find out what compelled me to write this damn verse Something did, but from which universe I know I’m barely nothing in the grand scheme of things but I am something, which means, without me the whole’s incomplete To ponder that line, oh to ponder it so deep Do ends and beginnings run parallel along membranous lines can omnipotence fill the hollow within Will cosmic branes shimmer and buckle, then divide exponentially Why steeped in passion came an aberration of kindness, prepared and willing to be hung out to dry Originally written 05/24/22 2022 Poetry Marathon Mile 7 Poetry Contest Sponsored by: Mark Toney 07/09/22
