Let's Suppose? Poem by Mark Heathcote

Let's suppose I am '200 billion pixels of a memory. '
On a digital highway bound into a digital collage
Now let us suppose I am a 'Kaleidoscope of atoms. '
Going slightly somehow mysteriously at large.

Across umpteen gods know how many galaxies
Suppose I am on my own to destinations unknown
To a mother's womb an act of pure will. But, still?
Not made by any ill romantic acts of attraction alone.

Suppose I am an act of jealousy - desperation?
Where the sun has fallen there shall I, we - follow?
From, dusk until dawn
Sure I am just another flower in my lover's meadow.

Fully formed I too am a flash-in-the-pan firework!
An overexposure - maybe I am an ultrasound picture.
Theoretically all science fiction! becomes fact:
In times fading this old poem may be your only map.
