An Agreed To Construct

Of the universal mind

Is becoming a favorite

Phase of mine, whereas

An invisible gathering

Of sophisticated souls

Got together to make

A game that anyone

Could play as long as

They agreed to the rules

Set forth on the playing field of

Time, space, gravity, and light to

See, hear, taste, touch, smell

Balance, have thermoception

(Sense degrees of hot or cold)

Know nocioception (pain) and

Sense interoception (internal pain)

Absorb nutrients, expel waste

Have hunger, emit emotion

Respond to acceleration and

Centrifugal forces, yet not velocity*

Experience faith, hope, love, and laughter

Doubt, anger, hate, failure, and success

Learn a language, add numbers, hold a belief

Make, mistake, or manipulate a memory



Did I leave anything out? Probably.

Oh yeah. Hear one’s own voice, without ears.

Wow. We ought to thank Word

For constructing this game

From particles and waves

Having been “here” infinitely forever

That we might play such a precious game





I watched snow falling

And that somehow

The collective mind

Made up the rules that

There are no two snowflakes

Exactly alike, though

They look the same

In a cup of coffee






Still, they fell, and the

World looked peaceful

As I pondered what

It would have taken

To make the game

We are playing so that

Within that, we could

Experience an infinite

Number of realities

Based on perception

Narratives and notions

Limited but fun free will

Choose to act or

Wait in the green room

Forget lines or ad lib

Formate friends or foes

Hold, change, or discard opinions

Based on rumor, hearsay, and innuendo

Indoctrinated by parents or caretakers

Managed and manipulated by medias

So that by the childhood age of reason

One can doubt and question authority

Walk the razor’s edge tightrope of

Rebellion and resistance

Against acceptance and adherence

Also, known as the Red and Blue Pill

From “The Matrix” within this matrix




From a mystical Milton Bradley or

Holistic Hasbro or Particle Parker Brothers

Maybe a Narcissistic Nintendo

Solipsistic Sony, or Ethereal Electronic Arts

Matters not the manufacturer

You get to pick, change, or discard

Knowing how they all

Come from the same source



Word(s)


*

When you walk to the bathroom on an airplane

You do not realize you are moving at 600 miles per hour

But will utilize the basic and special senses

To get there and back to your seat. Crazy huh?





“I never wish to be right,
Only to be understood,

If you have questioned
Your beliefs. Then maybe,
I have done some good.”
