Black holes dancing
In a Galactic swaree
Moving with their partner
While trying to back away.

A twin massive two step
In a supermassive way
A duality inspired
By radioactive fray.

Is the Universe
A quantum computer?
Do bits of photons
Reign, as Gods fingers?

Battle scared Rhea
With a delicate orbit
A connection to local knowledge.
Trying not to admit it.

Brilliant destructive Rhea
An ice scattering hit
Deep in old recovery
Awesome power, holy shit.

Red space aerobraking
In reconnaissance mode
Simplifies trajectory
For information growth.

Red face aerobraking
In a curious pose
Indicates its logic
As a Demigod that knows.

Energy
divided by
Speed

equals

Ion propulsion
Coupled with Chemical Combustion
divided by
Time.

“smushy time”

A theory.

If we can speed out
Why can we not speed in?

If we can grow old
Why can we not grow young?

Why is this logical dichotomy
So paradoxical and disorienting?

When will the Ion engines of thought
Prevail?

Discovered particles in cosmic arrays
Lends a degree of understanding
To the meaning of energy.

Parts splitting into parts
Watching the definition of small
Continue its steep slide.

Developed thoughts in machanical process
Decend into themselves
And feed the monster of logic.

Eyes of the universe
Staring right at you
Inflicting is essence
In sequences of twos.

Eyes of your past
Waiting to find you
Encounters your history
Racing to get through.

Eyes of the cosmos
Engineering its new move
Watches with delight
As Realization awakes you.

Soft sweeping shadows
Ensconced in lighted pathways
Illuminated by the breadth of uncertainty
Enraptured with mirrowed faces
That Stare back at you.

Soft sweeping wishes
Enlisted by the winds of desire
Illustrated by the shapes of uncertainty
Encouraged by the new born faces
Reflected by your soul.

Termination shock
Of the nufarious kind
Enlists pure hatred
In the dark of deep time.

Termination border
With dark notions to find
Are alive with devotion
And deep morals to grind.

Termination constant
And the Terror in mind
Is eclipsed by pure treason
With deep quarrals to mine.
