Thoughts on Consciousness

I

What is perceived
is conceived

in the coruscating
collision

of 'Out
There'

and

'In
Here'

II

'The world'

enters
the electric

buzz
'In Here'

in every
instant

out of inert
numbness

cuts thin

paths
through

confused
possibilites

 

III

The sensors
on scientific

probes
amplify

the limited
senses

in human
bodies,

report
on forays

into newness
as far

as resolution
extends

IV

not being
a part

apart

is to be immersed
in the immense

In Here
is Out There

Out There
In Here

now
in us

We

are the
consciousness

of the
universe
