Energy

Brimelow

Speaking purely scientifically,
physically, even deeper than the chemistry of biology,
a human being is just a state of energy.

Your feelings – a number.
Your memories – a number.
602415 – a lifetime in summary.

Whilst reading this, how many atoms did you engage?
How many chemical reactions did it take to survey this page?

Probably not a good idea to think about it,
and I’m sorry for assuming that you should.

But can a poem really be quantified thermodynamically?
Academically?
Theoretically?
How can the energy I have been expending
affect the energy you have moved comprehending
a poem that I have expressed from so far away?

    Its structure and terminology - I really got into this.
    Alas - 'The whole is more than.........' or something......

    WE all have that energy to comprehend your words and in our lives words are so important.
