How big is an idea?
People have said the internet was HUGE-
I haven’t seen it
with my own eyes, it could be all lies
like conspiracy and particle theories.
I know some HOPES are grander than others.
And I’ve carried some burdens bigger than a bus-
but I think that most people care less
about microscopic entities that they cannot see
or things that happen too slowly…
Have you ever stood
barefoot in the shoreline
Feet in the foam? If so, you know,
water always wins The Sands of Time.
Teamed together they make us pearls
of wisdom, bioluminescence,
a light within that begins
when one Believes
without sight
a tiny wish, a photon, a want to
that turns with light into a neutrino
that gets excited and becomes an electron
before any quarks form.
I think ideas matter,
stemming from a soft grey area...
And then there was light!
And then Atom,
and then we gain momentum,
molecule by molecule,
we are busy making molehills.
So blood is thicker than water,
and the homo sapiens denser than air-
I swear I saw a flying fear,
and my dear
it was GARGANTUAN!
Just like that GIANT ego, those
greenish, meanish miasmas
that all seem and smell the same.
So many slippery minuscule ideas,
evaporating into invisible shame,
hoping to erase your name
in the sand,
eroding where you think
you stand.
