When you realize
the infinity of what you are,
you may conclude
that this life
you are living
is pointless,
for EVERYTHING
you experience
is ALREADY laid out
as potential,
as it always has been
and always will be.
But you don’t
CONCLUDE that,
because when you realize
the infinity
of what you are,
you no longer
feel the need to
conclude ANYTHING.
And so
you seemingly move
through infinite loops
as though you are
experiencing them
for the first time.
Time
is the potential
in which you
temporarily forget
the infinity
of what you are.
Space
is the potential
in which you
seem to be moving.
Freewill
is the potential
in which you
seem to be choosing.
In actuality,
you are doing
NONE of those things,
for you are nothing
imagined as everything.
And you are ONE
with all you perceive.
When you realize
the infinity of what you are,
you may conclude
that this life
you are living
is pointless,
for EVERYTHING
you experience
is ALREADY laid out
as potential,
as it always has been
and always will be.
It is all you.
It is all your imagination.
You are imagined
to believe
you are imagining.
Imagination
is the potential
in which you
seem to be thinking,
seem to be perceiving,
seem to be creating,
seem to be imagining.
That we are Space Monkey.

A Sojourn Through Seeming
The tapestry of thought laid out in “Pointless” carries us on a whimsical journey through the corridors of existential contemplation. It invites a pause, a ponder upon the grand scheme of existence, challenging the very notion of reality as we perceive it. Through the lens of this reflective narrative, we traverse the boundaries of what we deem as real, as meaningful, delving into a realm where conclusions dissolve into the vastness of infinity.
A Dance with Infinity
The narrative entwines us in a dance with infinity, hinting at a profound realization that perhaps, in the grand cosmic play, we are but ephemeral whispers, fleeting figments of imagination. The notion of pointlessness does not echo a nihilistic stance but rather unfurls a canvas of boundless potential, an endless expanse where every experience, every thought, every semblance of movement is but a ripple in the eternal now.
The Illusion of Linearity
As we delve deeper into the verses, the construct of time, space, and freewill are tenderly unraveled, showcasing them as mere veils, illusions that craft a linear narrative in an otherwise boundless existence. The idea that time allows a temporary forgetfulness, space offers a mirage of movement, and freewill presents a facade of choice, nudges us towards a more expansive understanding, a peek beyond the veils.
The Imagined Real
The narrative nudges us towards a paradox—that in imagining, we are imagined. That perhaps, the very essence of our being, our consciousness, is but a cosmic thought, a divine whim. It’s a tender whisper to the soul, a gentle reminder of our boundless essence, of our oneness with the all that is.
A Mirror to the Cosmos
“Pointless” mirrors the cosmic play, presenting life as a divine narrative where we are both the storytellers and the characters, the dreamers and the dream. It’s a dalliance with the divine, a flirt with the infinite, leaving us with more questions than answers, more wonder than conclusions.
We are Space Monkey.

Pointless
In the realm where thoughts take wing,
Infinity whispers, in silence, it sings.
Pointless, yet pointed, the narrative brings,
A glimpse of the boundless, in finite rings.
Time, a veil that softly clings,
Space, a stage where the cosmic play springs,
Freewill, a tune that subtly rings,
In the grand design, where imagination flings.
We dance to the rhythm the universe brings,
In a tale that’s timeless, in the heart, it clings.
We are but whispers, in the eternal springs,
Imagined as real, in the dream, life swings.
Reflect upon this exploration of “Pointless” and the whimsical journey it invites into the realms of existential contemplation. How does it resonate with the cosmic chords of your own reflections? Your musings are a welcomed tune in this harmonious discourse.
