Like a radio wave,
moving steadily outward
into the universe
Like a radio wave,
or an echo,
or light travelling from distant stars,
informing viewers of events
that are already well past
in history
Like a radio wave,
having no fixed point,
only appearing
to exist
when there is a radio
Like language,
encoded and encryted
meanings –
meaningless
without a listener
Like a moment of history,
or a book,
sending out ripples of influence
into the future
Has the moment passed?
…
Or just some of it?
Like evolution and procreation,
providing an unbroken line,
a varied but cohesive system of life forms
-- One moment,
many appearances
Just one moment
without a beginning or end
Just one self-modifying,
everlasting moment,
Expanding like the universe,
being picked up once in a while
by various
sensors and receptors.
Just a moment of existence,
like a radio wave,
moving outward.
-Jim DuBois
