• Welcome to The Cave of Dragonflies forums, where the smallest bugs live alongside the strongest dragons.

    Guests are not able to post messages or even read certain areas of the forums. Now, that's boring, don't you think? Registration, on the other hand, is simple, completely free of charge, and does not require you to give out any personal information at all. As soon as you register, you can take part in some of the happy fun things at the forums such as posting messages, voting in polls, sending private messages to people and being told that this is where we drink tea and eat cod.

    Of course I'm not forcing you to do anything if you don't want to, but seriously, what have you got to lose? Five seconds of your life?

The Limit of You

I tried for years to find the limit of you
as you approach infinity.
Then somebody told me:
"It's aesthetics, boy, not maths!"
So I learned to wrap the universe around me
like a blanket, like a strange girl's shawl.
Now I define the holes to be
whatever it makes sense for them to be
as we close in on them from left or right.
Now I ride the waves of every singularity
laughing away the seriousness of giant things,
the discontinuity of life.
Now I understand that the limit of you
only needs to exist, not be known to either of us.
Call it what you want:
a universe, a blanket, a strange girl's shawl...
Any substitution will do
as long as it makes things simpler.
 
This is really beautiful. I love when topics like maths or physics are used in emotional poetry, I think it makes it more sincere, for some reason.
