Closing, the waking dream unfolds, the path to consciousness — untold,

The printer hums, the keyboard clicks, the cursor blinks,

1 human brain (shredded).

The surge crashes, the mind blanks — consciousness returns.

2 much stock (quantum soup — quarks, mesons, pisons, and other

subatomic nutrients — unprocessed).

Bio-transducer/receiver translates the quantum runes,

Blend stock with brain lightly (leave a little lumpy).

Imposes color, shape, and texture — defines the spume, but

Simmer over low heat until chewable.

No substance, no matter, no sound, just the receiver/soup-bone,

Giving flavor to the stew.

Self-serves one.
