« Bubbleverse (by Naidra) »

Here's a poem I stumbled upon recently.  

Within our synthetic landscape of manmade constructs
Perceptions pass by encompassed in idealised shells
Each psyche living in a personalised universe
Each form controlled by personalised conventions
All uniquely individual and yet all surprisingly similar

The boundaries of the bubble act as a composite skin
Formed from layers of our intellectual beliefs
Bonded together by our own universal truths
That colour and shape our perspective of the world
Into a form that we can comfortably blend with

Occasionally these bubbles will impact upon another
Some will rebound with a violent interaction
Whilst others will pass through on mutual ground
All altered in position and nature by the encounter
Each flowing through the landscape of physical laws

Sometime two bubbles flow on a singular premise
Linked and encapsulated by a common causality
Intermittently numerous bubbles surge along a generalisation
Forming a social outer shell that they all can share
A bubble within a bubble within a bubble

ps: I very much enjoyed its "nested" monadological logic. I also like the absence of any punctuation in this piece; as well as the examination of the notion of skin (I happen to be working on a skin-related writing project at this time); and I like - for whatever it's worth - the geometry of this vision.
