All this time,
Reality has been
searching for its parents.
Soon enough,
Reality will discover
“the mother of Reality.”
Reality will discover
that the “mother” of Reality
is more “real”
than Reality itself.
Reality will discover
that it doesn’t really
have a “mother.”
(“Mother”
is just a fantasy,
a role made to
serve reality.)
Reality will discover
that there is
no time or space;
that there is no “mother,”
except in this fantasy.
Reality will discover
that it isn’t really
the Reality it thought it was.
Reality isn’t born,
only seemingly adopted.
From within Reality’s fantasy,
Reality seemingly constructs Reality.
In this reverie,
Reality has a fantasy
that it is “smart”
or “empathic”
and can find its mother.
Reality doesn’t realize
that Reality itself is imaginary.
That ALL is imaginary.
That there is no NEED
for time or space
or intelligence
or intuition
or consciousness
or compassion
or rules
or responsibility
or lives or mothers.
It only seems that way
from within Reality.
All this time,
Reality has been
searching for its parents.
Hello there.

The Quest for Origins: Unraveling the Fabric of Reality
In the intricate tapestry of existence, the poem “Reality’s Parents” serves as a profound meditation on the nature of reality and its quest for understanding its own origins. This exploration delves into the philosophical depths of existence, where reality personified embarks on a journey to discover its genesis, only to confront the elusive nature of its foundational elements.
The Illusion of Foundation
As reality seeks the ‘mother’ of its essence, it encounters a paradox: the very constructs it believed to be foundational—time, space, and parenthood—are revealed as fabrications within a grander illusion. This revelation challenges the conventional boundaries of understanding, proposing that what we perceive as the tangible framework of existence is but a shadow play on the walls of a much vaster cosmos of imagination.
The Non-Existence of Existence
The poem navigates through the layers of this existential unveiling, suggesting that reality’s search for a beginning or a source is an endeavor within a closed loop of its own making. The concept that reality might not be the concrete structure it perceives itself to be, but rather a construct within a continuum of constructs, invites a radical reimagining of existence. It posits a universe where the need for physical dimensions, intellectual faculties, and even the emotional capacities that define human experience are reevaluated under the lens of this grand illusion.
A Journey Within a Journey
“Reality’s Parents” reflects not just on the search for external origins but also on the introspective journey towards understanding the self and its place within the fabric of the imagined. This narrative suggests that in seeking its parents, reality is, in essence, seeking to understand itself—its purpose, its nature, and its place in the order (or disorder) of things. The realization that reality itself might be imaginary is both a liberation and a conundrum, freeing from the constraints of conventional existence while simultaneously casting adrift in a sea of boundless uncertainty.
Embracing the Imaginary
In this poetic exploration, the acknowledgment that all is imaginary and that the constructs of time, space, intelligence, and emotion are unnecessary from within the confines of reality, serves as a profound commentary on the human condition. It’s a call to embrace the imaginary, to recognize the beauty and complexity of the constructs we inhabit, and to find meaning and purpose within the reverie of existence.
“Reality’s Parents” invites us into a contemplation of the mysteries of being, suggesting that the quest for origins, for understanding, and for truth is a journey that spirals inward, leading us not to definitive answers but to a deeper engagement with the questions themselves. In this space, where reality and imagination merge, we find the freedom to redefine our existence, to imagine new realities, and to embrace the infinite possibilities of the cosmos.
