Spinning Bucket Experiment (prose poem)


When I was in blank space; the primordial darkness of mind that everyone is likely to experience if they think about it, I could only see Sir Isaac Newton’s spinning bucket experiment to illustrate gravity and absolute space. Space dwells with meaning and matter such as teeth arrayed in a circular Stonehenge in anyone’s mouth.
   Until the teeth are lost as when a youth before adult teeth grow in it is challenging to find ideas unborn in the silent, still darkness that could last forever yet doesn’t. It is on a hill like an unmoved mover without time. It rolls downhill faster than light as a metaphor for a Universe- any Universe. Each first place I see through emergent fog. The place where sensation is vector topology, math matrices structured like dreams for-themselves are driftwood.
   And that is what I see like a light in the darkness, or would if anything could have color without illumination, form without substance, shadow without the sun of mind. The will to be and become full paragraphs in Hilbert space of four dimensional points in motion compounding themselves. Only then do the teeth become painful; abscessed with age.
