After Pulse

CuldeSac
It seems as though all forms of life 
Act like an information storage device
Wherewith humans you can see the thing
Adapting and learning over time self-teaching
Reading about Turing Completeness
I came to realize that in the social circles
Humans complete in each other simulating
And without knowing why, we love and hope
In this growing unity between us and the universe
But sometimes memories are lost

Civilizations and cultures are wiped out
So what remains of this macro-neural-net's work?
What is its worth in the meaning of the word?
By simulating each other
We become a part of the greater whole
To make a contemporary statement one would say
"Look at the digital age and how it is taking over!"
What of the way our primitive-macro-net used to
Yearn towards unity with the physical?
You might as well be on an island deserted
But you want to come back and be social

In the 70's, views Newtonian yielded to the Quantum
See it reflect in our interior design up to date
But for the most part, up the effort into our building
On to being able to exchange information
If doing so requires a digital format unreal
May it be as real as the stroke of a pen
Adding to our feed-back loops recursive
We either ponder in ourselves re-programming
Or see ourselves in each other's eyes to love a neighbor

For the help of the growth of the Noosphere
Know that humans do not hold the only one
All of living life exchanges information
Trying to cope with the battle for existence
The difference is that the human can see this
In the face of temporal events understanding
The great melting of the white hot furnace unfolding

Sequential requirement fades
Into the same moment when you know are dying
Asking yourself how it could be the end of your node
Where you simulated from one to another reflective
Even the dome of the sky you felt in your chest beat
To die on for your simulations to run in
Off to the rest that might yet be
After pulsing
