Definitive: Change and Interchange

Life is extraordinary,
So here and not here,
Tis a wave form,
A palette of colourful zeros and ones,

But awareness of it all,
Where does that come from?
And how can what is be made,
From furniture to electronics,
When everything is in flux?

And based upon what,
When our very awareness is intermittent,
But a wave that rises and falls,
Top to bottom, until it’s gone?
And where to then?

Then again, awareness is
Also connected to whatever else is,
So even though temporary, intermittent, up and down,
However one phrases it,
Functions within the larger function or pattern;

And so, they go together
And come and go together,
Thus one is able to influence the other,
As they are not separate,
But who is doing it?

We seem to be free and not free,
Here and not here,
Temporary and persistent
But where do we go
When this fragile shell goes?

Is this transient material casing
Necessary for what we know?
Or is it simply a matter of
Coming from within this temporary attention
That makes us think, ‘this is me’?
