Post It Fast Before You Disappear Draft

I'm not the same as yesterday This gives rise to the soluble layers Or should that be depth? My cascading through ever changing realities and trying to navigate It's makes so much sense that I can't hold onto it It tumbles through my grasp and I look at what is left in my hands to find it once again indecipherable So I begin again, watching, collecting, thinking... But then I emerge in the perfect self place and I'm walking in a dream, everyone likes me so much I'm literally getting high fives (Ace Rimmer vibes but I never truly get good hair) I open my eyes and it's not that reality any more though I pass others that know that me Some gives clues on how to fall into the right place Wear eyeliner and brush your hair seem oddly loud as messages I do always seem well turned out on the right planes I don't know yesterday's person very well Today's is making home made soup whilst eating sweets Should I resonate with myself? Am I reincarnated daily with a jumbled up version of myself The ever requested shake my mind up and see if it lands better? But I can't stay where I land for even a full day sometimes I'll be here long enough to eat the soup Which I coincidentally made in a pressure cooker Roughly all the same ingredients thrown in but I never know what it's like til I remove the lid Sometimes it's burnt and sometimes it's amazing and sometimes it's just the ingredients cooked I'll take the lid off and the next line is the reveal It looks nourishing, no need for a photo of the soup or me See you on the flip side

Neuroscientists best estimate for "right now” (the present) is only about 2.5 to 3 seconds, not much is it Dilly, so I can totally reason with what you’re saying here, we’re constantly moving forward, with our thoughts dragging our bodies along through time, I try not think of life that way, there is continuity we’re wired for it, I’ve a feeling you’re poem is about abstract reality, and I totally get it, it’s a powerful poem, and extremely difficult to pen, it actually does feel like it’s going to disappear, but hopefully it won’t, cheers David

There may be clues that I didn't check the science! Just a meandering thought that feels like I should give it more time and develop it and maybe I will at some point
