Linear time appears an illusion,
if all events exist before Planck time,
not a moment sooner, the Planck epoch,
entering cosmic time we see events
as linear progressions of presence,
reality plays out as past, present...
the future approaches the horizon
in tangential parallel lines that curve
mathematically with gravitation,
elapsed in less than a second, the force
appears unified with gravitation,
pretend the past remains as memory,
pretend this moment, here/now, as endless,
eternal in all directions, but time
appears in just three instantiations,
right, left and center, time passes in waves,
simple explanations for simple minds,
as people in time, we perceive ourselves
no better than ghosts of centuries past,
if to extend the metaphor of ghosts
leaves us feeling transparent even now,
leave no stone unturned, search until you find
understanding of the big picture, eyes
see what the mind cannot concede, a stick
in the water is bent, but straight in air,
of course, spacetime bends, as well, perceptions
never cease to need clarification.
