Deeper Fundamental

Deeper Fundamental

A Poem by E.J. Waling

Deeper
fundamental.
Looking
in a
mirror.
Reflections
of the
current
seen.
Reflections
of ten
thousand
ancestral
generations.
Each pairing
leading
to the next.
Five hundred
million
genetic
packages
per event.
Each package
a different
person
represents.
Correct
swimmer
out of
five hundred
million
needing
to hit
the target.
Bang the
gong.
Ten thousand
times
consecutively,
for
reflection
seen.
Any pairing
difference
anywhere
along the
way, or
another
package
delivered.
A
different
reflection
occurs.
There are
no odds
that resonate
such a
thing.
A deeper
fundamental
at play.
