Numbers keys, in plus signs
Options, variable, reverse
Infinite ways, to think of , acts
In dimensions, confused intellect,
Putting it down to, not sure best say Quantum
Bets, with the books, paddy power
Its still purely based on assumptions
Unless, one is to be an in-trader
Not allowed, like crystal balls
Its all just subjective, don't be fooled
Why hasn't he used those numbers drawn
Fortune telling, falsely telling
Any way, in quantum
Thus you and I, deeds in good and bad
Nah cancel erase, I and you
Nah I, I and you, you
Nah I and I, you and I
Nah you and you , I and you
Nah, us and them, against that
Nah, it is all of the above and more in codes
In thinking, I must have been
Something else, before this life
Not sure yet what, still pondering
Something to do with an old soul
For I think too much
But Bimbi was a fish, I think
She could have been a fish, I think
With love for water, a swimmer, I think
She flips like Nemo
Crazy, I just fear drowning
Decoded, codes entered
Arrows with neon lights, exit signs,
Where roads end, we walk on air
Weightless, like butterflies
Caterpillars decoded
0 plus1plus 8 equal to 9
Nine rows, by three column 27 codes
27 codes, divided by three in nunbers..9
Three sets, by three columns....9
That's like nine lives, choose one
In trials and errors, the others wait
Like cat's misjudgement
Of two walls distance
Move over, next! decoding
Onto the next alternate, decoded
And that is life in codes
Numbers, funny talk, blah, blah, blah
And it goes on, decoding
000, 888, 111
018,081, 108
180,801, 810......
Thoughtful. We really do spend the majority of our time decoding, don't we? Spoken language, body language, instructions, reading, writing...
ReplyDeleteI don't know if you participate in blog awards, but I'll have one for you at my blog shortly if you'd like.
ReplyDeleteSigh. And agreeing ...Clara

ReplyDeleteI think your words are so close to our reality, these days.
Almost without name, simply a barcode!!

"you must have been and old soul who thinks too much"...they say everything in life is mathematical...and now everything we do is traced and watched and counted and coded...but i like the way your poem speaks out behind the codes and i sense your desperation for something so much more substantial and meaningful to life and our existence, as to why we're here...great write...
ReplyDeleteOur lives seem saturated with numbers and quantification - and you capture that here. Good poem.
ReplyDeletemy mind is now in a quantum quark - or was that a brain misfire???
ReplyDeleteWow you write code and poetry???
smiles for your day
Having recently read a book on quantum physics and "string theory" I found this verse to be very intriguing, imagining all the different scenarios. You are mighty with your pen Kodjo!
ReplyDeletefascinating bit of verse....and number play...the search for deeper meaning...i think i have too much time to think as well...
ReplyDeleteOddly effective jumps between math logic, off the wall observations and poetic logic. This is one of the more interesting things I've read recently.Points for creativity amidst the bleak bar codes.
ReplyDeleteAs old Einstein said
ReplyDeleteAs far as the laws of mathematics refer to reality, they are not certain; and as far as they are certain, they do not refer to reality.
Beautifully put...
ReplyDeleteHere is my one shot:

playful, i enjoyed reading it
