Lost Evidence
by
Frank Valentyn
The EPR experiment proves light-speed violation
Bell’s theorem, non-locality of instant information
Bohm’s holographic universe shows us to be fractal
a self woven from other selves in ever larger fractals
and in its non-classical term addition
of quantum potential to Schrödinger’s equation
proves even the humble electron’s consciousness
and infinite connectedness to cosmic self-realisation
Fröhlich says it’s hydrophobic electret polymer dipoles
and gigahertz phonon coherent quantum states
causing the unitary binding of consciousness
that might result in genius or a brat’s bumptiousness
and Hameroff and Penrose
who have a nose for this kind of thing
allege coherent firing of cerebral neuronal groups
in cytoskeletal microtubulin-associated-protein
The Vedic macroscope says it’s all illusion, Maya
and even Plato rejected sensory empiricism
while Heraclitus could neither step into
or out of his lukewarm bathwater
without transmogrifying into some totally new thing
and obviously there’s no such certitude as self-totality
or indivisible individuality
Even the meaning of meaning’s meaning
or tendency of tendency
and non-finality of implication of the ontology of trends
seminally illuminate but make desperate poor friends
Why is it then that we search for lost evidence
feel within our non-existent selves
such cosmic separation and connected isolation?
Where is this immanence of perfect perception
this intimate interpenetration of conscious point-focus
that I used to call my Self, now diffusely sublimated
with that infinite suffusion of the cosmic weave?
Did I really see that marble garden elf
wink subliminally and move with subtle heave?
