I'm grateful for the gestalt
total from particulars
knowing at once
instinctual
photons array beams of light
impressive images emerge
from pointillist marks
some Higgs Bosons, a few quarks
to keep you off track
what do you see?
an old hag
or a fancy young lady?
a glass from Chablis
or faces about to kiss?
holographic holons
more is different
symbol exceeds referent
beyond eyes that see
ears that hear
tongue that tastes
skin that takes textures, temperature
fascial proprioception
otolith pebbles eerie gyroscope of motion
an agglomeration of comfort
a felt sense the animal is safe
optimal grip on affordances of umwelt
complexity at its finest
pounce thrust ricochet as reptile
cuddle softly stroke lick in the limbic
spinifex of text complicated complex
checksum of the neocortex
systems within systems within systems
sense the shapes not just measure
topology of ontology
metaphysics of physics
alchemy of chemistry
talk in riddle & rhyme
as Ophelia mad in love
flowery flow forever
one cannot push against the river
all in all, is all we all are.
