We are but space within

Without

By Raymond G TaylorPublished about a month ago • 1 min read
2001: A Space Odyssey, final shot

We are but space within

Without

Be in no doubt about it

What we are is nothing

Caged

Staged for the meaning it brings

Sings within the heavens

Comprising entities of space

Caged

Within other entities

Caged within

A colony of nothingness

Fused into somethingness

By electrostatic

Attractions

Reactions of reagents

That pull together

Space and

Elemental particles

Tiny globules of

Living modules

Modal existence

Oceans of Oh

Fused with Aitch

Twice

Gleaming globules

Droplets

Hiding within

The endless ocean

Without

Held together by chains of unseen energy

Crossing the vast emptiness

Betwixt droplet and

Droplet
