Are you ever taking a leak
as jazzy elevator music floats by,
thinking about time or space, or how they’re the same thing
And suddenly you remember everything-
the music, your mom, TV newsmen, even the headlights on northbound trains
are all just waves?
All of it, I mean all of it
barely perceptible excitations of one quantum field or another
That’s what they tell us anyway
in the edicts they pass down from their ivory towers. Their towers extend all the way up to heaven.
Did you know that?
Yup, they commune with God herself
that’s where they learned it all
Ok. I’ll admit it, I may be exaggerating a little bit.
The part about the headlights on northbound trains. Maybe you already figured it out,
or doubt it has anything to do with what direction the train is traveling in.
You caught me- somethings really do exist beyond it all.
