Perception

poem by: John Prophet
Written on May 10, 2021 

Perceptions.
Understanding.
View 
of things.
Processing.
Processing 
input.
Informational 
input.
Capable.
Only so
capable.
Processing 
unit provided,
only so
capable.
Limitations.
Severe 
limitations.
Like 
a dog
contemplating 
a mirror.
Finite in
nature.
Observational,
information
processing
incomplete,
minuscule.
Contemplating 
infinite things.
Beyond scope.
Treading 
in an 
ethereal 
realm.
Underlying 
reality,
mere
probability.
Nothing
 to
stand on.
Floating in
quantum 
fluctuations.
Probabilities.
Endless
possibilities.
Which way
to turn?
