Alternate Realities, Time Travel, and Bathing

John Clement Husain

I am in a great discord
with temporality
When a flower dies
Would its life be in record?
or will life be playing dice
with death and his amenity?
both are in disaccord

Or when a flower lives in another world

Yet is dead in here
and yet again, at the same time as us
can I then say that this flower be dead in this otherworld
yet alive in here? is it oblivious?
Oblivious to its other?
Reality has now been uncurled...?

How can I be certain?

Do I even know that there are worlds out there?
Well, my mind says maybe
For I cannot ascertain
If one can exist without being be
can then I be dead and unaware
in other worlds that I was laden?

This open a lot of possibilities

Is there another me out there
who is thinking the same as me?
Now that I think of these somebodies
Do we have the same knees?
face? skin? hair?
Questions arises…
Can something even exist and not exist at the same time?
Maybe if I have created a device that would make me able
to perhaps travel to other realities,
and when the time I dine
and all my body is at ease
with death across my table
My other self would just replace me anytime
 It’s so sublime,
and a wonderful thought at that,
to have a device
that would be able to travel across time
Or maybe what matters more is what suffice
my thoughts that I looked at
while I am here in the meantime

Maybe time isn’t linear at all

maybe it’s like a tree
every move you make creates another reality
every step you take may make you fall
in life or rise in life, if you agree
or I can just go backwards and reverse all

Perhaps I could just jump from 2018

back to 1200’s
or forwards to 2050
or maybe to when I was still a preteen
I could just change every
every single thing that were wrongs
and make it right that has been

Just a thought
maybe all of these are impossible to do
but I think they are a possibility
and often than not
I think there really is another reality
am I close to a scientific breakthrough?
I need evidences or all of this are for naught

The point of all this is:

I exist and do not exist at the same time
died, will die, dies
lived, will live, lives
It’s just semantics
I am at the bridge between life and death, I am at my prime!
am I even making sense?

Well, this has been fun

I like it when I think
it does make you think a lot
it can make you understand more than,
more than anyone else’s bethink
and as for me right now, I have learned a ton
 I will remember this very moment
this very moment that I thought deep
deep enough that it makes me question more
For me, it is an enjoyment
but it does make my brain sore.
This knowledge, I shall reap
I shall write all this down before it gets stolen

*knock knock knock*

I then heard a knock on the door

I am staying too long in the bathroom
I haven’t even washed my hair
or rubbed off the dirt on my skin some more
I was staying too long in here
Time is running and I should leave this room
I have to hurry or I will be late for –

*knock knock knock*
