Barren,

No two
the same.
Unique.
Alien.
Misunderstood.
Never to

Islands

I walk past the old football field, empty, no gladiators, no cheering crowds.
PUSH THEM BACK, PUSH THEM BACK, PUSH THEM WAAAAY BACK!
Just echoes of the games once played. Just memories of those standing, watching the turmoil on the field of battle, young warriors in their armor girded for war.
Distant images of time long past. People I once knew, no longer remembering their names. November winds again blowing in my hair, what little I have left. I wonder what paths all those people took? I guess I’ll never know.
Yet
John Prophet Aug 2023
Yet
Yet.
What’s
yet
to be
known,
discovered?
How many
songs
have yet
to be
written?
Ballads,
poems,
stories
yet to
be told?
What
mathematical
formulations,
physics
calculations
have yet
to be
postulated?
Dimensions,
realities
uncovered?
Minds
of
limited
stature,
potential,
divine
limited
understanding.
Results.
Expanding
consciousness
required.
Needed
to move
the needle,
break
down the
wall.
Passing
into
richer
venues,
worlds of
discovery.
Venues
heretofore
denied.
Help will
soon
arrive.

You
You.
What
are you
you?
Born
as you
are.
Personality,
talents
baked in.
At conception

Mixing
genetics.
Ingredients
prearranged,

To­ss

Wielding
outcomes.
Mixing

How will
you
perform?
Have you
a choice?
Character
built in?
Wiring,
laid out.
Everything
predetermined?
What are
you?
What choice
is really
yours?

Zeros and

Virtual

Base

Designed.
Fine tuned.
Creation

Undulating
foam

What is

all zeros
and ones!
