Intellective Work
 
Imagine An Object
by M Zlotkin

 

Imagine an object you can see, can touch,

that you can understand

Imagine its form, it's size, it's breath, it's mass


Imagine it's surface

scintillating, reflective, dull, transparent, translucent, opaque,

ever changing in the light,

malleable, rigid, fluid...


Does it emit, absorb, reflect or refract the light?


Imagine all these conditions simultaneously


Consider only a moment of random condition


Know that this object,

like all objects,

is composed of vacuous moments of emptiness,

of space, of energy, of electrons, neutrons, atoms,

each assembled to form the myriad molecular configurations necessary to comprise this object

 

Contemplate this object

 

Assign to each aspect of each molecule random alphanumeric characters,

of any alphabet of any language of any numeric system

of all alphabets of all languages and all numeric systems


AND you, you can clearly see the alphabetic assemblages, the numeric associations,

the chains of characters of the intertwined and convoluted molecules


You can see the characters,

their relational proximaties,

the word forms, the numeric expressions

their concepts and ideas


How does it read? What does it say?

Do you see a message?

Is it sacred?
