I am with you in this Rachel aside from the political nonsense that goes on and there is plenty of that going on right now, there is this whole ethos around producing and consuming. Consuming being the operative word here in that we are asked to consume anything that is put in front of us not least the rhetoric that is espoused by the loudest voices.
I look forward to more of your work
Thanks for posting

An idea that can't be expressed in words? The German language may have a word for this phenomena, Jason--I've heard it said that they have a word for everything...

And Martin, I get the feeling that there really isn't much thinking going on within the general population. I mean, we are all told how to think. And, by telling us how to think, "the powers that be" also dictate our rebellion.

Our division is orchestrated--never believe that it is less than calculated.

Train your mind.

Rachel
I always love the fact that your poetry make the reader think rather than just swallow up a whole load of words. Great poem proving there is so much creativity in science.
Nice one

If anything, the fact that you're reaching for something you can't explain as well, just adds to why I like it.

Hi Jason,

There's something here I can't express in words. I'm not sure this is the best way to put it on paper, but it seems to fit in a certain way.

Thanks for your response )

I'm going to have to read this a few times, just because it's really interesting. The use of a chain of numbers in the middle just adds something... I can't quite put my finger on it, but I really like it.
