Who Am I? Poem by Tom Billsborough

Who Am I?

Rating: 5.0


I am only one and yet
My mathematics soar
Towards infinity
In my discrete enclosure,
My nebula of atoms.
Each nerve a star
Which radiates a purpose.
I am but one and wonder at my role.
Is it active or just
The passive recall
Of an automated system,
Infinitely complex,
Beyond my comprehension?
Am I the one illusion,
The one Imagined God
Created by my infrastructure?

Yes, I send them samples of my Mesmerising drug. If any men get their hands on it I'm in real trouble. mind you I think I'd be safe if they saw my WANTED POSTER photo! Don't you?

Thanks very kind of you, Susan. I thought about just as I was giving Mr Purry this morning grooming. So he gets the credit!

Hello Tom! After many moons... Interesting ruminations. I also oscillate in my contemplation of how big an impact one person can have, while at the same time being a minuscule, insignificant collection of dust.

Hi Laurie, I like to write about self-awareness and consciousness. Great mysteries unsolved. Must look up your poems soon.

Nice to hear from you again. I'm afraid I've rather neglected my friends as I have been busy translating and editing prose recently. Will catch up with you soon. Many regards
