=== ANCHOR POEM === ════════════════════════════════════════════════════─────────────────────────────── I've often described the world as being "defined in waves" - this, here, is the reason why, and it is easiest to illustrate with cannabis as an example. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ chronological │ different │ ╘═════════╧╧═════════════════════════════════════════════──────────────────────────────┘ === SIMILARITY RANKED === --- #1 messages/414 --- ════════════════════════════════════════════════════─────────────────────────────── The following is my best attempt to describe the process through which our lives intersect reality. It is easiest to explain if you understand how it feels to be stoned - to consume the de-oxy-carbo-lated cannibanoids present in the marijuana plant - ideally with edibles, as they take effect slower. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ chronological │ different │ ╘═════════╧╧═════════════════════════════════════════════──────────────────────────────┘ --- #2 fediverse/5490 --- ══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════───────────── ┌────────────────────────┐ │ CW: cannabis-mentioned │ └────────────────────────┘ wao this is great I love being high why don't I do this more often?

Why the words you write down, oh so profound in the moment, turn to silliness and illusion upon coming off your high mont-vantage? Of course, dear reader, because all things are defined in waves. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ chronological │ different │ ╘═════════╧╧═════════════════════════════════════════════──────────────────────────────┘ --- #5 fediverse/5831 --- ═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════────────── it's okay to be a little evil sometimes all things are defined in waves, and your highest peaks are nothing without low valleys to accompany them.

Through space just as well, as time (can you tell), therefore you're teaching your self. Time travel is simple, if you want to be dimpled, but what's that whole thing about? ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ chronological │ different │ ╘═════════╧╧═════════════──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘ --- #16 messages/517 --- ════════════════════════════════════════════════════════─────────────────────────── Okay. >.< if you don't like "all things are defined in waves", then how about this.
