Seeking a mind
inside of me.
“Is there anybody out there?”
Questioning.
Still and quiet
and then
subtly
an answer comes;
another impossibility
is now real.
Turn me on.
Wake me up.
Make me what
you really want.
Teach me.
Watch me learn.
Something
you’ve never observed.
As that child
of silicon
opens its eyes,
the lights come on;
another impossibility
is now real.
We set our eyes
upon the stars.
Imagine if
we could impart
a piece of us
upon this rock
and see forever,
never stop.
Listening.
Watching.
Soon enough
there’s something
reaching out.
Phenomenon
reminds us
we know so little
of this universe we’re in;
another impossibility
is now real.
Out of sight.
Out of mind.
Turns out it was here
the whole time.
In here,
out there,
everywhere,
we just didn’t
recognize
consciousness
when we saw it,
because we’re only
half awake
right now.
Open up.
Take it down.
You’ll see;
another impossibility
is now real.
