Inspired by Sir Roger Penrose
Colder than black holes, carrying
energy, and then a pop!
Afterward is really, really boring.
But we will not be around to be bored.
Photons will. They won’t be bored at all.
Clocks stopped without noticing, such useful
pictures to squash the limits of circles living
on the edge.
A geometry of angels and devils; coexisting in the
same boundary. Infinity. The space where scales
do not matter. Just one way and not the other.
