RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: LIFE SONGS
"There's no such thing as random chance." Jack Random
The Big Bang Paradox
Can we observe our own birth
without existing in two places at once?
Can we be the observed and the observer?
As the Webb telescope zooms
to the outer reaches of space
where it promises to come within
a whisper of observing the birth
of the known universe and all it entails
the question must be asked:
Can that which does not exist in time
observe that which does?
Will time in all its mystery unfold
before the eyes of humankind?
And if it does will we observe
ourselves from behind?
Will we come undone in time?
Will we pass through the doors
of perception and conception?
Will we enter a new age
of evolution and comprehension?
Will our minds expand or implode?
When we reach beyond the moment
of our existence will we still exist?
We have discovered the paradox of being
without knowing or understanding
what follows
Boom
(for John Lopes)
