Achieving RealityA Poem by Michael AdamsAchieving Reality seemed impossible, until I met you.
Did you know,
that everything you think your currently Seeing, Hearing, Smelling, Feeling, all happened and is continuing to happen in the past. Because no matter how fast our brains compute, no matter how fast our minds process the information given to them, they will never catch up with the present. This is because by the time our minds realize what has happened around us, something else has already happened for it to wrap itself around. We can only process information so fast. But we try, as if our minds are at all times trying to play catch up with the speed of light. A race we can never win and obviously, a race we will never win, but will continue to try Regardless. Because if we did win, we'd be one step closer to reality. And I guess, What I'm trying to say, is that, that's why I like being around you. Because when I'm with you time slows, and when I kiss you it almost comes to a halt. As if the next second couldn't come fast enough and is in fact holding me back. Like my brain was seemingly slowing down. Like my brain was a machine that when around you started to malfunction. But I know now that rather then being broken, when the world seems to slow it means my mind is speeding up. It means my mind is taking in more information a second, a higher Frames per second, and this computer in my head is put into overdrive. As if you were the mechanic to my already healthy mind, and yet knew exactly what buttons to push to make it speed up even more and catch up with the mysterious present. Something that, without you, I'd never get to experience. And that is exactly why, Why I like being around you. Because now I know being with you brings me one step closer to reality.
