~~I am not your mirror, or your reflection,
I am visage, implacable, I am Time.~~

You know, geologically, eons
are everything, to the face of Time.
In fact, unless Time can be shown to be
altered, if the front of Time’s head,
from the forehead to the chin,
couldn’t be seen, Humanity couldn’t be.

We are so limited in our perceptions,
believing we are Sole Reality. Not so,
Matter, and its lack, is reality, and its forms
are endless, and enviable, and volatile.

If we were advanced enough to convert
the energy of one kilogram of water, or sugar,
or any mass, Time would be our Tool
instead of our Master. Thank Albert
for this relativity of observation, he deduced
mass as the concentrated bearer of energy.

Imagine unlocking Mass! Any mass,
the mass of our planet, say. It is almost
incomprehensible to our minds, the
conversion rate of particle exchange,
since our view of particles extends only
to protons, neutrons and electrons. These
limited perceptions define our blindness,
and our facts.

Think of striking a coin from a sheet
of hot metal. With the action of creating
a coin, an anti-coin is also created, a hole,
an opposite, a void that is. Each particle
of matter is actually a pair, matter,
and antimatter.

Think of the energy of matter particles released
in the Creation of this known Universe,
feel the Big Bang of Antithesis and its
expansion, at a fixed rate of speed, the
Speed of Light. And, think how the farther apart
objects are, the faster they separate. To
see far lights in Space is to see our
beginning, to observe our conceptual history.

In Particle Space, with its coexisting
opposite attractions, when anti-pairs meet,
in the moments of their existence, they
absorb each other, totally, but, they shed
Time formed in fractional quarks, like a body
shedding a few skin cells when its
physical life ends, separated from its
original, actuated, completion.

So, we Big Banged, and , All became
particles and anti-particles, each
with specific properties, and other
specific propertied particles could,
and did, fit their properties to others,
creating forms and anti-forms, matter
and anti-matter, constituents and
anti-constituents.

Meaning, all of these particles of matter,
formed or not, disappeared, merged,
combined, complete and unattainable,
annihilated. Except, tiny sub-particles,
shed cells, Creation’s eggs and sperm,
remained behind, free to grow with
energy’s existence, in an ocean of nothing.
Matter and antimatter were no more.

Leading me to conclude, we are bastardized
hybrids, separated from matter by matter. We
only came into being because, in essence,
we arose from the scant ashes
of annihilation. Reformed, by Time.
