Quantum Shave
I slip through wormholes often as I ageBecause one thing relates to many in time.A multiverse comes tumbling to engageThe past in present reveries which rhymeWithout repeating, and remind me I’mOnly one possible result of all before. While shaving I recall all previous shaves,Those charged reflections staring back at meThrough infinite slits, particles and waveExploreContinue reading “Quantum Shave”
Bear in Mind
There are still mysteries with usScience can only expose as witness.We orient ourselves in zonesSurrounded by these vast unknowns,Our knowledge like a fire at nightCreates illusions of deep insight;Time present knows time past as sureWhile time future is to now obscure;When moments move from now to thenEvents become what soon has beenA certainty from thatContinue reading “Bear in Mind”

WHAT HAS “IDENTITY” GOT TO DO WITH “US”?
We assume a role not only in the immediate social context but also, coming into it, based on everything in our lives which has come before. From the circumstances of birth down to the “choice” of attire, we bring who we think we are more broadly to each and every social interaction.
