Consciously a world is outside
Clocks are ticking,
Cars are running,
Breaths are taken in,
Birds are chirping,
Earth is turning;
Atoms are transforming
Energy transfiguring,
While I take thought on
This cup of Tea.
I put myself into
The system of the tea,
The system of matter,
Of materials, of physics.
But that wouldn’t matter at all-
Clocks may not be ticking,
Earth may not be turning...
As we speak.
Sometimes it is an elegant gesture,
A leap of faith
To know you are not alone.
To know you are collective
In the system.
But sometimes,
It isn’t selfishness or ignorance,
That the only thing matters
Is not the system
But my cup of tea.
Without inferences
Or references
To what is and what not.
To silence of language,
To emancipate from imagination
Assumptions, and false security--
The aloneness and the unity.
The world outside
The world inside
Outside and inside.
As we speak.
