there should be a proof for this
an equation Eisenstein in scope
where faith and chaos as variables
cancel each other
when encompassed/divided by
the number of atoms
in the universe
and we are left with a constant
underlying the calculations
past the concept of zero
and above it
maybe that 8
flipped horizontally
we like to call infinite
or even G-d
if we are created things
then the creator(s) should at least
introduce themselves
so we don’t argue their existence
over pasta and wine, or
burgers and fries, or shout
where are you?
When we watch the news.
But, all equations
have inverses, so
the inverse
in this universe
are multiple gods
or higher powers
yearning towards worship
taking that leap
that stretch of consciousness
in committment
loosely named faith
trying to remember
if they ever created
anything
in their own image(s)
as they stir nebulae into soup
and taste vacuum, adding
dark matter for complexity
there should be something more
and did we call it out of nothing?
arguing our existence
over dinner, or dinner as gods know it–
was there ever any one thing
shaped from atoms
like an Adam, breathed into
and walked with–something so small
on an insignificant planet
swimming in a spiral of constellations
that somehow longed
for this more
as (we are/I AM) yearn(s) for what’s reflected
in this less?
***for Johnnycrabcakes, who inspired this insanity.
Brilliant insanity
Aw, shucks, Boomie You just turned me into a tomato. Feeling better?
I love tomatoes :). Yea, not as tired anymore so that’s good. Now if i could wish on a genie to wait on me hand and foot lol
Oh, I know what you mean. No wishing allowed–you have been blessed by those two little imps you get to chase around and tire yourself out, instead of being allowed to relax. It is both a good thing and a curse, the mom thing 😉
it is way cool how you hold the mirror in our face here…ha…so well done..
Thanks, Claudia! It is all Johnny’s fault that planted the twist in my mind, and oh, I am so grateful for that 😉
I love how you manage to bring the macro to the micro and vice versa in this piece!
David, thank you I honestly wasn’t sure I could combine the two, but felt they had to go together.
Heh, things to ponder… I’d like to know where the infinitesimal missing number goes in to 1 divided by 3. Take that to infinity, and it will ever be missing on the tail.
(I should say, you can never reassemble it to whole without rounding.)
Owwwww, my brain hurts now 😉
You’ve done it again, Susan. 🙂
Celestine–thanks, m’dear.
