Pop the Question
one man’s reality ~ is but another chimpanzee mimicry
Monoku quote by poet
Foremost on my mind today
is much the same as yesterday,
but not quite!
A nuanced imperceptibly has taken place
What say!
The cosmos has grown by one light day
Far out!
Very far out,
beyond the observable horizon of space
where there is no space
our bubble grows,
No way!
Well in fact every way
stretching in all directions
onwards, outwards, upwards,
downwards, backwards, and inwards
Inwards, how do?
To the point of where it began!
Oh the Big Bang?
Yes!
I mean no!
Because actually there was no bang
as sound-waves cannot
travel through space
The biggest bang ever
was absolutely silent!
Just shocking!
Hush now
this is going nowhere!
Well actually, it is going somewhere!
expanding billions of miles every second
Goddamm!
So what’s the point?
Exactly what is the point?
You mean, you don’t get it!
I think I get it,
I do get it!
There is no point!
Yes you really do get it!
Sorry to burst your bubble
Pop!!
Hey!
What?
What if the universe bursts its own bubble?
Oh that would just be
a Big Rip
Every particle in space would be ripped
back into its primordial plasmatic state
Like a Big Bang in reverse?
Pretty much so!
Wow!
You mean
You mean?
Say it go on!
You mean, we do it all over again?
Yes!
Pop!!
You’re an idiot!
I know,
so are you!!!
