Infinity and Dreams

Infinity and Dreams

As always, the pendulum silently pierces holes into time

The riddle of the blue stones defied all mathematical logic

The enigma of the bird that was said to make ceaseless rain

Almost inaudibly Paracelsus whispered but a single word

In the deep blue the Kami caused the earth to quake

Fiercely engaged in battle he discovered that he was but an imagined character

It drew an endless breath and said: my name is Odradek

Shakespeare’s memory presented him with the chaos of all possibilities

He was racing against time to arrive at the infinite moment

Yes, the ink monkey always drinks every last thick black drop

The rules of the perpetual game of chess were suspended in time

The Book of Sand, without beginning – without end

In that moment outside time Emma Z. avenged her father’s killer

Only the blind librarian sees the truth you are searching for

He searched among the old souls for one worthy to animate his character

Still somewhat unsure, the youth set out to question when existence begins

Alas, the dreamer began to suspect that he, too was but in another dreamer’s dream

The total book that contained all past, present and future volumes

The universe was closing in on him until there was nothing but his Zahir

Random mirrors hold the promise of all possible books

The infinite Aleph attempted to converge all angles simultaneously

Where infinite combinations of the symbols are now and now and now

Until there was nothing else to ponder but his several futures

You millions and millions of tweets – you speaking freely to all

He could not be sure if he was in a dream or in a dream within his dream

The enigmatic lottery was nothing but a perpetual game of chance
