the graceful hula dance always tells a story

things arent exactly like they were a really really long time ago. millions of years & things change. evolutino is a necessary tenet of the existence of the universe. the things we are provided. these things we bear witness to. do they not show the change & entropy we should have heard about from our grandparents. what do you want as an explanation? that perhaps yr version of god is inexact. the one and only holiness. umm. try to grab hold of the whole universe. indescribable uncountable numbers of numbers of uncountability. all hurtling through the void. everything is happening out there. over & over again it repeats. it comes and goes. everything makes its way through the cosmos. infinity contains alll possible all. no none of the limitations are true & let’s not forget the necessary nothing ness. all that void out there has to master the vacuum. know the nothing. & the evrything rolls on thru each day changed. movement undergone. oh motion’s boaload of difference from last night’s port. time is the motion in question. really it’s the manmade measure of motion. to hope to understand to hold on to. the movement of the everything. to provide definition to the infinite. to place limits. to understand duration. oh things. all of them. things arent exactly like they were a really really long time ago. things arent exactly like they were yesterday. things arent exactly the same as they were tomorrow. things arent exactly the same as they were a little while ago. thigns arent exactly the same as they were in the beginning. things arent the same.
godless & songless, western man dances with the stuffed gorilla through all the blind alleys of a dead-end world.

nothing changes in the now
before the big bang when we were all still virgins
it has always been
An infinite series of now’s
"our eyes register the light of dead stars"
