Magic          
It’s all 
magic. 
All  
we know. 
All we 
think we  
know, 
all magic. 
All knowledge, 
magic. 
 Wand  
raised,  
spun 
and it  
began. 
All that  
happens 
magic. 
Scurry around 
we do. 
Oblivious! 
Oblivious of 
the spell. 
The spell 
of creation. 
The Sorcerer,  
plans 
 unknowable. 
Alchemy of 
creation. 
Everything  
spun up 
from  
nothingness! 
Magic of 
life! 
Each, 
magical creatures. 
Awe. 
The 
awe of  
being. 
Alive! 
The magic, 
a gift, 
a curse. 
Everything.

      Reality        I’m here! 
I see me. 
I hear me. 
I’m here. 
What’s here? 
Where’s here? 
Am I real? 
What’s real? 
Virtual universe. 
Possible! 
Quantum computer  
generated? 
Possible! 
We don’t know 
all that’s 
possible  
so anything 
is possible. 
Would it matter? 
“I think  
therefore  
I am.” 
Would it  
matter how 
I came to be? 
Virtual world, 
virtual rules. 
If virtual, will 
I die? 
Cease to exist. 
If virtual here, 
virtual 
anywhere? 
Will I simply  
derez, or 
pop up 
elsewhere? 
Possible. 
Virtual immortality? 
Possible! 
Virtual  
life after 
death? 
“I think 
therefore  
I am.” 
Possible.

      Ape         
Hairless  
Ape. 
Thinking  
Ape. 
Eons in the 
making. 
Struggling to 
understand. 
Understand its 
place in things. 
Understand how 
It came to be. 
Understand what 
being even is. 
Time passes 
ideas arise. 
Competing ideas. 
Ideas on all  
matters. 
Waring ideas,  
establish power, 
establish  
dominance. 
Ideas held high. 
Held high 
as ultimate truth. 
Naked Ape 
just out of 
the wilds 
yet  
convinced about 
creation,  
convinced about  
Its place.  
Convinced on 
 how 
it all began. 
Self impressed  
with what 
 it knows. 
Think it knows. 
Naked Ape

      Spectrum          
  
Left to right, 
all in between 
humanity  
resides. 
Narrow band 
of reality. 
Limited in 
nature. 
Controlled. 
Programmed  
in narrow  
reality. 
Freedom  
genetically  
manipulated. 
Swimming  
in a 
fish bowl. 
Limited  
reality, 
all that is 
known 
limited in

Cannot  
know what 
cannot be 
known. 
What 
cannot be 
fathomed. 
Expanse

Infinite. 
Not 
shackled  
by genetic

Shackles  
will be 
shattered. 
Shattered by 
what’s  
to come!

      Infection        Humanity is 
infected. 
Infected with 
 malice. 
Infected with  
hate. 
Infected 
with fear! 
Infected with 
Ideas of 
difference. 
Thoughts of 
exclusion. 
We  
come to 
existence 
the  
same way. 
Born with 
clean slates. 
Once born 
infection occurs. 
Clean slates 
filled will 
local thoughts, 
local ideas. 
Ideas of the 
ancients. 
Fear of 
the other. 
Fear of  
the other 
side of the 
mountain, 
other side  
of the sea! 
Ancient ideas 
of fear and 
exclusion. 
Fear of the 
others infection. 
Clean slates 
polluted with 
archaic thoughts, 
pitting one  
against another.

      Visions          
Misty visions. 
Visions 
of what 
might  
have been. 
Foggy horizons, 
futures 
that will 
never be. 
Visions 
of people  
that might 
have been, 
that I’ll 
never meet. 
Place that 
I’ll never see. 
Potentiality  
that never was! 
Decisions made 
paths traversed  
that never were. 
In a quantum  
haze we live. 
Potential vibrates  
all around. 
Alternate worlds 
never to be 
explored. 
In my dreams 
I’ve seen a 
few. 
All the people  
I never knew. 
I wonder where 
I’d be today 
if I chose 
to go a  
different way.

      Mirage        It is a 
mirage. 
Spun up 
in a place 
unknown. 
Everything  
seen an 
illusion. 
Ghosts, 
vapors whiffing  
in an out 
of existence. 
Ghosts  
in the  
machine. 
Infinite  
iterations running 
simultaneously. 
Universe one 
of countless  
churning to 
and end, 
an unknowable  
end. 
Universes  
populated. 
Populated by 
 unknowing. 
Immersed in 
something  
beyond 
understanding. 
Beyond reach. 
Vapors, moving 
in and  
out of illusions. 
Forever. 
Immortal  
they be!

      Truth       Unique unto 
themselves. 
Truths. 
All truths. 
Amongst  
countless 
storylines 
spread  
through 
space 
and time. 
All believed, 
all known,  
all true. 
To them  
all true. 
Woven unique. 
To no one 
but them. 
Woven special 
focused truth. 
Our truths 
dissipate  
devolve  
dissolve 
into nothing  
everything  
everywhere. 
All the high, 
 all the mighty  
all their  
truths 
meaningless, 
everywhere  
worthless 
through all 
eternity

      Transformation          
In our 
faces. 
Constantly, 
in our 
faces. 
Glowing 
screens. 
Pumping, 
pumping out 
information  
constant 
Information. 
Inundating,  
swamping 
the mind. 
Washing over, 
coursing through. 
Minds smoothing, 
ideas blending. 
Minds altered, 
losing  
individuality. 
Cloud. 
All spinning  
up, 
up 
into the 
cloud. 
Different,  
what returns 
different  
not the same 
not individual. 
Old minds 
filled with 
yesterday  
fading away. 
Old ways dying, 
dying 
with the old. 
Soon, 
transformation  
will be 
complete!

      Insanity        Peeling 
away. 
Away from 
reality. 
Seeing things 
differently. 
From a  
slightly  
different angle. 
Like 2D world 
discovering  
3D world. 
Ignorance. 
Safe in 
ignorance. 
Content in 
ignorance. 
Best not  
to know. 
Safer, limited. 
Tough enough  
as is! 
Mind blowing 
it be
