there is a substance swimming all about us that has been there since before
anything was; therefore,
prior
to this
primordial
dance of atoms that were always atoms
where people who looked like us
lived in a place much like this;
breathing air & seeing cities;
girls - cars - buzzing zipping asteroids ;
artificial satellites             missiles - war
before anything we know was or was known
or remaining unknown
                       as if lost waiting to be found;
going back in time simultaneously :
w/ going forward           into the future :
& in this swirl of life upon life
& poet after              poet                      there has always been dark
matter; called ether in                  days of old; they weren't wrong;
but w/in the dark castle walls                lives the dark          princess who no one ever sees; Saint Barbara in her tower
looking out over the world cradling                 her head in her arms;    
untl that world explodes into pure blackness;
which is light to us; the negatron
explosion producing           .                  the after-effect of white light;
the real world is unseen on the opposite
side of our own;
we are simply the photo taken of the universe;
we have no concept of the actual space around us;
all we see is pictures;
sounds go by & faces loom & vanish; -  
u are not even there   -    reality never happened;
it's an illusion of something more real
than u could ever comprehend;        space is black:
the true color                         of everything
