What if there’s no past nor future,
there's just a present spectrum.
What if the passed is a present
lingering in white tones1 almost
radio waves, while the future
is what is blackest2, almost
gamma rays, yet the present
is multicoloured, wavelengths3 we can normally see, as black if saturated4, white if bright5, future opaque, past transparent upon multilayered observations6. Time7 is a colour8 and we are stuck in blacks, whites, while subtleties tell us: the past is so transparent, we forget. The future is so obscure, we can’t see it. If grays are what we only see we’ll never understand why time is colour, not a striking tick tock that divides us in two sentences, pitches, wavelengths, instants ignored even as absorbed. Most of time9 is invisible to us, we record what we can as a radio projection, attempt to see futures beyond probabilities, what could happen, too intense, can’t decipher the steel chamber10until we collaborate for a timespectrometer11 to detect what we are made through time slits12. To measure13 what we screwed up, to accept futures we might not desire14 but happens as we continue to err as a past's distance stretches into our present's perpetual circularity15.
Note: This is my first example of a MetaContextual Poem. I described its origin and justified its creation here: http://beingpoetry.com/inquiry/what-is-metacontextual-poetry/. It is important to note that my metaphoric interpretation of scientific concepts attempts to promote creative thinking, not to simply illustrate knowledge in a poetic way.
