i have been told

that beneath us
and in-between us
and
between the lines
that define the you
from the me
there may be
other realms
and different realities;
an ongoing of sorts

these are the ghost stories of science
told to offer comfort
to a people cursed
with self-awareness;
a people who are told only one truth –

“you have an end”

with this in mind
live, laugh and love
as well as you can
and above all – hope.
