A poem pondering life and death.
Am I just this form?
Born to die
waking up only to sleep forever?
why does my mind
have trouble going in circles?
why does it want to go in lines?
Can I extract any meaning abstract
out of any of the happenings I see?
I’ve tried to summarize or even generalize
many of the obscure observations
surrounding me
but the one in the many always proves me crazy
producing thousands upon thousands
with similar equations until
the oddball phenomenon gains momentum
it only seems to keep trying and trying because of time
it only seems to be dying and dying because of life
my conscience is a black hole with a mirror at the event horizon
a huge retina reflecting light-experience
rainbow dust particles splashed against the black
