Pop the Question

one man’s reality ~ is but another chimpanzee mimicry 

Monoku quote by poet


Foremost on my mind today
is much the same as yesterday,
but not quite!

A nuanced imperceptibly has taken place

What say!

The cosmos has grown by one light day 

Far out!

Very far out, 
beyond the observable horizon of space 
where there is no space 
our bubble grows,

No way!

Well in fact every way 
stretching in all directions
onwards, outwards, upwards,
downwards, backwards, and inwards 

Inwards, how do?

To the point of where it began!
Oh the Big Bang?
Yes!
I mean no!

Because actually there was no bang 
as sound-waves cannot 
travel through space 
The biggest bang ever 
was absolutely silent!

Just shocking!

Hush now
this is going nowhere!

Well actually, it is going somewhere!
expanding billions of miles every second 

Goddamm!

So what’s the point? 
Exactly what is the point?
You mean, you don’t get it!
I think I get it, 
I do get it!
There is no point!
Yes you really do get it!
Sorry to burst your bubble 

Pop!!

Hey!
What?
What if the universe bursts its own bubble?

Oh that would just be 
a Big Rip
Every particle in space would be ripped
back into its primordial plasmatic state

Like a Big Bang in reverse?
Pretty much so!

Wow!

You mean 
You mean?
Say it go on!
You mean, we do it all over again?
Yes!

Pop!!

You’re an idiot!

I know,
so are you!!!
