Who We Are

The subject of ourselves;
We choose, perceive, 
laugh, and grieve. 
What are we
in this boundless and expanding cosmic web?

We, human beings
do the curiosity of all experiments.
Made up the same subatomic particles 
as are exchanged
between flowers in the gardens and black holes in the galaxies.

Within the immense ocean of stars,
the images of the Dark Energy live within us.
When supernova collide!  A glimpse of Milky Way’s fate zooms in, 230 million light
years away from earth.
With limited means
our ignorance,
the discovery of the multiverse living beyond us.

Big bang or
the fabric of time, Dust Ring discovered in Mercury’s orbit.
In Quantum awareness of singularity
       we can always be wrong.

Scientists smashing atoms
Searching never-before-seen a shadow of Event Horizon
Building reusable rockets colonizing Mars
Bending the speed of light
 ......Desperately seeking the horoscope of human race

“I” and the neutrons in our brains 
are the same thing;
        complex, tightly integrated
        and lovable.

The brutal truth
Is - no certainty 
We exist.
