QUANTUM   POETRY

By Jack Bowman 10 August 2000

Find the latitude and longitude of Borders

Tell the group of 5 or so they have to be silent for ten seconds.  Beginning when I move my hand down

Watch clock and move hand downward.

Give them a sign to stop ten seconds later like say OK we are done.

Give each a piece of paper and tell them to write what they were thinking during those ten seconds.

Give them awhile to write it down.

Collect the papers. 

Tell them

“This is the thoughts of individuals in a specific simultaneous space time.

The record here is what you wrote down is not really that important.  It is more like a video of the thoughts of humans translated to words in a specific space-time.

The poetry here is that a specific number of humans in close proximity had a specific thought over a specific period of time.

I added the space – meaning, the location of the thought but it really isn’t that important. It just helped us to realize its simultaneity.  The thoughts were ephemeral.  They were thought’s going on everywhere  (well nearly so) on earth, during our ten seconds.

We pinned down our AWARENESS of these 5 or 7 or so thoughts.  The awareness of these thoughts is the beauty of the poetry.

You always have to ask the question is it poetry?  It is.  It is pure thought poetry.  It has attributes of poetry.  It is words within a time frame or time rule.  Like rhyme.  My recording the position in space-time is like publishing the poetry.

You recording your thoughts into written words are the same.

What we did is that we took poetry on a quantum leap.  We took it to pure thought.

I know you may not understand. It is hard for me to understand.  But it is something like we captured/created pure thoughts in these little chunks during those ten seconds.

If you think about it.  It is an awesomely beautiful thing.

The chunks of human thought.  All simultaneous and us recognizing them and their existence as thoughts.

Meaning bioelectrical things floating around in an ether world.

DIRECTIONS: are like learned behavior as in learning grammar sentence structure etc.

Use a compass to make a sketch of the position of each individual number relative to North and South

  The ten seconds were between 3:38 and 45 seconds and 3:38 and 55 seconds p.m. Eastern time, Thursday 10 August 2000

 In retrospect I see that this somehow appears 3-dimensional (Around a center space time coordinate) In a world that did not have the first two dimensions. (height & width).  It appears to be another universe that has different dimensions.

The awareness of the thoughts (word thoughts) as a vision or image in our head is another world.  A new universe of pure thought.

Ether:

 1. a. the rarefied element formerly believed to fill the upper regions of space.

b. the upper regions of space: Heavens

2. a. a medium that in the wave theory of light permeates all space and transmits transverse waves.

b. airwaves
