Fun And Rewarding
To perceive reality
On a molecular level
It strips everything
Of its everything-ness
With all the zipping about
Of protons and neutrons
Appearing as a mist
Of a grayish white light
Coming together in
Agreed to locations
To observe from knowing
That the atomic power
In each miniscule particle
Doing its proper thing of
Behaving like it is expected
Without wires or batteries
For example, one does not
Actually, knock on wood
For that is impossible
The molecules are
Everywhere all at once
Coalescing into what
Appears to be wood
The same goes for your
Hand, eyes, and ears
The chair and table
Which are all there as
You perceive them
Just not “really” there
Likewise, the knock is
Not really emitting a sound
It is all perception
To enhance experience
Such as fulfilling
The cliche that
Knocking on wood
Will ward off misfortune
There is no timber or tribulation
Save for ingrained indoctrinated
Perceptions that make it so
Unsure where chasing this
Elusive Bunny is off to
Going down the rabbit hole
Yet, this line of thinking
Is fun and rewarding
“I do not know
Where I am going
But I do know
I am moving forward. “
– Angelo Devlin
That’s a mind bender… Now I’m walking around wondering (wandering too) how I don’t just fall through the ground. I always wanted to walk through walls. Maybe if I get my electrons to spin at the right time they could make that deal with the ones in the wall.
You bring so much Wonder!

I tried that once, not with a wall, but a closed door, having understood the concept. While it didn’t work in the physical material world, it worked metaphorically for passing through a door to get to the other side.
