STRANGE LOOPS 2

 STRANGE LOOPS 2

 

I was dreaming I was asleep

Ad infinitum

Until I reached the edge of the universe

And the outer limits of my consciousness

I looked across into nothingness

 

Aptly named and phrased recursively

It makes way for my expansion

Only to fade into insignificance

Quite alone

Totally unknown

 

Back on earth, the Garden of Huia grows

The sun is shining

Then it rains

I hug the trees

Talk to the bees

 

I admire the view nature provides

I ignore the weeds

I rearrange the fields

My genial family shows me the light

Conventional by day, out of this world by night

 

Play a game of chess against masters of AI

Try to decipher Chinese whispers

Translate English into Germanic

Become a professor of bio-linguistics

But cannot get there due to adverse logistics

 

All I say has been said before by you and me

Written down for eternal uncertainty

You move me through time in ages

I’ll stand still

If you will
