Can Somebody Do Something? Poem by john tiong chunghoo

can somebody do something?
like developing a sanctuary
to accommodate the mind
and all its whims and fancies?

can somebody do something?
like carving a vaccuum where
life can hide without the law of
physics caving in on him

that would be a great service
to this overloaded entity
destined to die for the former's
quest for invincibility, immortality.

can somebody do something?
like developing a channel
for the mind to leap from one
to the other, to show life can be
lived in any form, without the
trouble of a physical presence
where death has to be employed
to free its limitless possibilities for life
