Reality

“The Universe is an ongoing explosion.

That’s where you live.

In an explosion.


Also, we absolutely don’t know what living is.

Sometimes atoms arranged in a certain way, just get very haunted.

That’s us.

When an explosion explodes hard enough, dust wakes up and thinks about itself.

And then writes about it.”

– The Cryptonaturalist



Reality……..


Is so real

You would

Almost think

It is real




But, it is not

When one considers

The functions of an atom

Electrons zipping around a

Nucleus of protons and neutrons

On the backs of quarks and neutrinos

To be perceived by consciousness

Making up matter and antimatter

After deciding if it is a wave or particle

Inexplicably following time’s arrow

Along an infinite irrational trajectory

To the end or beginning of the universe


How does the joke go?

Q: Why can’t you trust atoms?

A: They make up everything.

(That is a side “splitter”
If you’ll excuse the tiny pun)




It isn’t until an ego manifests itself

Into narcissistic self importance

That it competes against its self interest

By manufacturing language and opinions

Hell bent on annihilistic self destruction

When that is literally, figuratively impossible

It lingers with the fervent hope of otherwise



“I write, not to be right
But merely to understand
And maybe…….be….understood.”
