modern science.

the chemical reactions that i can feel taking place throughout my veins are making me think of modern science. as the waste and bitterness of the previous evening is sifted from my system through my liver, my mind focuses on a simple thought: "i am the master of a smaller universe." see, each person is comprised of cells. cells are built from molecules. everything in reality is composed of atoms. couldn't we all just be atoms in some much larger structure? there are great dust storms in my lungs, complete with huge billowing towers of black smoke. there are great rainy seasons inside my sneakers as i walk through the north iowa winter to my classrooms and social engagements. i can cause fluctuations in environments hidden just beneath my skin through the willful consumption of certain chemicals. i can create an earthquake in my stomach by devouring a fat burger and extra cheese fries. you see, we are all the gods of our own smaller ecosystems. furthermore, couldn't we all be conscious parts of an even larger body? we live in a small cell where we are all function to improve and maintain a limited environment. maybe when we die we realize that earth is just a red blood cell floating in a larger environment, the sun only a crusading antibody in our vicinity. someday, space exploration will break through the skin and carry us into the larger world. a real world. a place where the sears tower could fit on a pin point. anyway, i am going to go raise the pollution levels in the lake surrounding my thoughts before the fish can repopulate and ruin my train of thought.
