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
