Valence is not gravity
pulling
or a mathematical sequence
of arbitrary events
it is a misunderstanding
ever expanding
finally going
going gone
and magnetic fields, i am told,
envelop the earth
to keep the sun from
burning us to death -
we cannot see these things
yet we are assured of their existence
i wonder if what i haven’t proven
with mine own intellect
really breeds truth
i wonder if what they have told us
is not a lie
i wonder if a mind can lose its own mind
after giving in to reason for an hour or two
finally,
in this reality, i wonder if that same reason
can save us
while in the next,
(the one just beside me)
i know it cannot.
