The Last Syllable of Recorded Time
Perhaps I will know
when the final moment
reveals itself
and then tumbles
as a last breath
from my mouth.
All of history
Is in that moment.
Everything gathered,
and everything stolen...
it will all be there
in the ever-spoken Word.
This is the last syllable
of recorded time.
Is it a stone from a stone fruit
thrown into the gasping mouth of a well.
Falling evermore toward the bottom,
it speaks as a single collective thought.
Oh, you are there
and I am too,
collected in the zeros and ones,
calcified like bone and
squeezed into a bubble.
…bubbled up and calcified
You
from me.
WWWWWWWWWWWWW
The relics
of all
formed from the we.
Hide now
in a different
tense—
spoken secretly.
(Not past,
not present,
not future.)
Our binary brains
can never explain
the syllable strain
of that final moment.
Within the orb,
the particles collapsed.
Every particle—
under the weight
of underwater pressure.
A force compelled
a kinetic collision
that formed the core
of everything.
In this space,
every particle stays the same,
The elongation
in smoking mirrors.
Every particle created
in the expansion
is now drawn inward,
compounded
to set
on the head of a pin
upon which the universe fits.
When the Big Bang reverses,
the Big Crunch begins.
Breathe out.
Breathe in.
Do it again.
The basic law of gravity unfolds
exponentially—
the retrograde force
unbuckles the web
of planetary orbits
in the underwater pressure.
Within this space,
every particle transforms
in the crucible—
where every single molecule
phenomenologically redefines
the meaning of a cosine
in this new G.
Let G = 01g/e.
While the molecular melding mixed,
they remained aware.
After the cycle of each Bang,
an equally big retrograde
draws inward,
back to the pin-point
of an incarnated universe—
broken down
to a grain of sand.
Breathe in.
Breathe out.
Swept up,
every particle
in the incarnated universe…
The Big Bang broke down,
happened again and again,
when the Big Bang
happens again.
So they hide in their place
and await the decoding
that allows the probable inevitability.
While fishermen
stand on the reef at that moment
when the Mountain moves—
and the bubble from the void
crests the surface—
and ushers a key
that looks like an 8.
We’ve done this before.
We’ll do it again.
Those who are chosen
are muttering in the park,
claiming to see God.
They’ve recognized the scribes
and the Pharisees,
having always
hidden the words
of the prophets.
Meanwhile,
we all can see
a tinker’s damn
is a foregone conclusion.
We all will die,
but technology will survive.
Even if the technology
is alive
in the Big Bang
that happens after
the Big Bang
that happened after
the Big Bang we know—
somehow,
some technology
will figure out a way
to decode the molecules
you even now emit.
Somewhere,
someone
will profit from this.
Somewhere in the lines
signed in the release,
the contract grants your past
for their pleasures.
You are the frozen Neanderthal corpse
pulled from the tundra—
extracted,
revived.
This was the Judgment Day
we heard about.
Technology is exponential.
If left undisturbed,
the bridge will be built.
Your life,
like a baseball card—
collected
and traded.
Endless.
Pulled back to the evermore.
We are commodities
for lesser gods,
ripened in factory farms,
slaughtered in masses.
Every emotion—
I
bled
from the space
we once occupied.
None of this ends.
When you awaken
in the moment
of every man’s merging—
the singular
will
feed those lesser gods.
Men who walked the earth
will form into marble,
and we will stand
in statuary
in some monster’s garden.
You don’t get it.
You can’t get it.
You shouldn’t get it.
But you do.
I speak in metaphor
to give you a truth—
to let it edge its way
into the garden.
Ignore the figure 8
in a 360 VR world.
We are the living—
come back
from the dead.
