during dream #17544
you will meet up
with somebody
from your past
said my all-knowing innervoice
you’ll spend just
a few milliseconds together
before you emerge
back into the comeapart
yet everything will add up
like it’s an eternity
like it’s all part
of the greater whole
you see
you will have been reconnected
plugged back into the grid
twinned
quantum-hyperlinked
you share the same past
and the same present
but the future will be paused
waiting for either one of you to return
to pick up where you left off
and you can do this
at any time
and there will be no continuity errors
you won't know
where to find each other
but that won’t matter
because
the laws of attraction
will draw you
together all the same
gravity
will begin to act
upon you both
and the electromagnetic impulses
that ping about
inside your brains
will spill out
into the solid air
around you
and your atoms
will collide
and intermingle
when I told you that
the calender was due to stop
after the 22nd
I was a little muddled
I was just being spiteful
I was grieving
I was tired
I was lying
the calender will never stop
and neither will we
time ticks on endlessly
the universe goes on and on
like lightwaves that travel out
into the infinite void
like a ripple on a pond
like the warped space
behind the blue pig
where the yard goes on forever
so when you separate
at the conclusion of the dream
you shouldn't be surprised
when out of the blue
from a distance
she glances back
over her shoulder
and calls out
a reminder
to you
