Poem: New Physics

 

New Physics

 

a person, they say

is in fact a universe

with as many neurons

as there are galaxies.

and no one really

can put a value on any of it,

because meaning depends

on what is thought.

death, they say, 

resolves genesis to omega,

a nova of all one's quests;

and the light cast off

is more than equal

to the original big bang.

in fact, outside of time,

before you take shape,

or have movement,

all the possibles manifest. 

so when you go out, or come in,

through that blinding door,

there is, on the other side,

so they say, a mirror

of your own making;

and it bends to infinity,

such is the claim,

where you tend to walk.
