Achieving Reality

Achieving Reality

A Poem by Michael Adams
"

Achieving 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.
