Dark Matter Brain
by Kate McClelland

While I slept, I saw a holographic image

Of the road map of a brain.

It was mostly water and a network of billions of tiny nerve endings.

Held together by a membrane the thickness of a pancake.

Like a saline battery powered pc attached to a meat robot.

I thought, as I saw this slowly spinning vision –

With the amount of ‘space’ in between the membrane and electrons

Could this equate to the dark matter in actual Space?

What if each person had an alternate universe in their head?

So perceptions of our world would be different to each of us

We may view our surroundings

Through the ‘looking glass’ of a cranial universe

Each one, giving a different perspective

A different outcome for actions chosen and actions taken

And within this space there is a better and worse version of yourself,

Making different decisions with different realities as a result

Rippling through time and space in ways we could never comprehend

Like ripples on a pool, that sits within a river, which runs through a sea

Which is surrounded by a boundless eternal ocean

A dark matter brain enveloped within a small calcium box

An infinite space within a three dimensional prison
