Senses

senses

it is about now knowing what you know except in certain circumstances 
when fractures appear; when the past and the future merge.
The authorities were looking for a sunken U-boat using underwater drones
 they found many things
A brig, sunk in a storm a luminosity of a lone figure looking up and smiling 
before turning into unseen dust.
A German U-boat surrendered, waving a white cloth but such was the hatred
 the boat was sunk anyway
They found the submarine had a design flaw when diving too steep an angle
 the sub could not rectify itself but kept going down.
They heard and didn’t hear the scream of a young realizing he should never know 
the sweetest love.
The fifth dimension is the moment when the past and the present merge and 
everything is understood clearly but never spoken of
