Poetry – Infinity Two – the sequel – another attempt to penetrate the absolute in a poem.

Infinity Two – the sequel

I wrote a lot of these.

I am not sure if you can have a second infinity? But in an infinite universe everything is possible. I probably created a poem about a polyverses system.

I had this idea that somehow finite could not exist within infinity. That all we could measure was inaccurate. If you took a finite object it contained infinity within it. It seemed to invalidate reality and make me question existence. To me it added a mystical dimension that was beyond science, maths and everyday life.

The universe was infinite.

The world we inhabited was an illusion. There was more to it than we could see, know or understand.

I think it is how religions are born.
Infinity Two – the sequel

I am the greatness of nature.

I am the vastness of a microbe.

I am the creator of philosophy.

I am the ridiculer of man’s achievements.

Without me there is not even nothing.

 

I am worshipped in many forms from afar

I am the element that science shies from

I am the only truth.

I am the only thing you cannot test.

I defy your principles.

Without me your experiments would always work.
