Melt

The moment he closed his eyes 

and could see

 

He knew he could feel

The world changing around him 

 

He knew somehow 

everything was different

 

His mind was evolving 

in ways he'd never imagined

 

He could see 

through solid objects

 

Knowing the intricate details 

inherent in their designs. 

 

Total knowledge 

in multiple perspectives 

 

Like he was uploading 

vast bits of a reality 

 

Which had long 

held fascination

 

Turning to time/Space

Something shifted, 

 

almost imperceptive

His thoughts blurred, 

then cleared 

 

He "saw in his mind" 

mental calculations

 

Had internal conversations 

with a higher mind inside 

 

which led him to efficiently 

center thought streams 

 

Quickly, processing 

ever more effectively

 

Light flashes days, 

angles of declinations, seasons

 

His mind shifted gears, 

shifting forward Into futures 

 

and backward To reverse 

the actual time reference 

 

From 0, the present state. 

Beyond several reference states 

 

his thoughts 

could process

 

In several pathways, 

simultaneously

 

Having no idea 

what gift or curse this might be. 

 

Whether this 

was real 

 

or an altered state of mind

He could retreat to 

 

he paused, 

but his mind did not

 

For some indeterminate time 

he did not participate. 

 

He only watched in total awe 

What wickedness Was this? 

 

Who was he, now? 

What might this be? 

 

Had he lost his mind? 

Was he still asleep?

 

he was in...The Melt
