Drowning

i am in the middle of a sea of crowd
drenched in my own thoughts
i fell in the stream of unjustifiable tension
and got competely deluged
its taking over all the best in me
its getting over my nerve.

i searched for a hand to take me out
of an engulfing ocean of oblivion
but i can’t seem to keep a hold of my grip
the harder i try the easier i falter.

i can’t breathe i am suffocated
i need to let go but letting go
would mean total drowning and
would mean completely losing myself.

stars zoom across sky
shooting for cosmic movie
~ other side of town


black night to my square
sign flashing on things to do
~ hold on to your breath

Saturday morning
dream-filled eyes not open yet 
~ dewdrops for breakfast

Computer code travelling across the internet like a crowd of tourists, surging towards the next data. A series of zeros and ones. Each travelling in a different direction. Where are they going? What search will it be next? Has a writer suddenly got a new idea? Whatever the question, the internet can search it all.

Back to the beginning, when code was invented, and the first computer needed a room all to itself. Now, compact, in a mobile so small, anyone from the past would wonder how the information got there.

Jump into the shadow, and back into the light. Every thing happening in the world at the touch of a keyboard. Typing more natural than speaking to another person. Information overload. One word, one line, one paragraph – writing a story for which there is no end.

I was in Quantum Mechanics from 9 AM till 10:15 AM and I am so glad that this class only meets 2 times a week.  Not so long ago we thought space and time were the absolute and unchanging scaffolding of the universe.  Then along came Albert Einstein, who showed that different observers can disagree about the length of objects and the timing of events.  His theory of relativity unified space and time into a single entity called space-time.  It meant the way we thought about the fabric of reality would never be the same again.  The EPR paradox of 1935 is an influential thought experiment in quantum mechanics with which Albert Einstein and his colleagues Nathan Rosen and Boris Podolsky “EPR” claimed to demonstrate that the wave function does not provide a complete description of physical reality, and hence that the Copenhagen interpretation (a collection of views about the…

hustle and bustle
their next stop on their minds
mindlessly plodding each next step

beware of collisions!
auto or man

the hectic encountered here
is nothing like dewdrops on blades of grass
remaining stationery
or slow and lazily falling wherever

We are all part of

The tree of life

We live, we die

Nobody knows when it will happen

One moment, we’re here

The next, our life has ended.
