I Create therefore I am

 

All we have is energy,

                Bouncing energy,

                                Vibrating energy,

                                                Chemical energy;

Interpreted

                By a web

                                Of neurones

Creating pictures

                Creating tastes

                                Touching reality

With partial awareness.

 

We live in a world of electricity

                We believe to be real.

Light bouncing off surfaces, sound vibrations, heat vibrations, chemical stimuli. Solid force-fields repelling solid force-fields. That’s all.

Our brain takes it in and conjures up a picture of the universe that we think is how it really is.

It isn’t.

Our understanding of the universe is merely waves of polarisation across neuronal membranes in a complex neuronal web.

What we ‘see’ is not how it really is. What we think we understand – we don’t!

Strange things happen

Strange things happen

Strange things happen in a universe

Where the laws of physics conform

To the perverse.

Nothing can be more peculiar

That the laws that pertain

To nuclear.

Anything is possible

                In infinity.

Creating worlds

                Of possibility.

Where carbon’s

                Strange agility

Combines with Oxygen

                And hydrogen’s ability

To create a woven web

                Of life’s history.

Spelt in bases helical

Consciousness is chemical.

Strange things happen in a universe

Where the laws of physics conform

To the perverse.

Many things are beyond our understanding – such as how a bunch of chemicals have come to think and speak, to wonder and emote.

Many things are beyond our comprehension such as the infinite nature of the universe, the vastness of space, the enormity of matter and the unending nature of time.

My chemicals ponder.

Life is perverse.
