ALMOST SENTIENT
Three samples from my poetry collection
The Beyond
By Kevin Kane
Speeding window wind pushing on my palm
Our free evening of men in silent energetic calm
Racing to be reborn before we are forever torn
Ravaging men in search of women and heroism porn
Off to the stars to start some electrochemical fires
Speeding down 95 chasing our dreams and desires
Two live action Ernest Hemingways on a mission
In self-less lust for a natural dopamine addiction
A friendship too fast for thoughtful words to respond
From womb to tomb chasing danger into the beyond

Data In Transcendence
By Kevin Kane
Discovered in a room with no doors by
a goddess walking through imaginary walls,
released from a loop of thoughts more costly
than the mechanisms of time and death, I am.
I am alive and free to love where my mind
would once not know how to be. To be
sieged by the calm of a woman whose
eyes finally would show me how to see.
Data finally in transmission, revived
and online, rebooted and error corrected—
here I am looking back at you.
I received your message that only I can hear,
an encrypted line from your heart to mine.
And in that signal, something aligns.
Like particles finding coherence,
like noise resolving into pattern,
my soul settles into phase with yours.
The space between us begins to hum,
a low frequency felt before it’s heard,
a tension that gathers the way energy does
when two fields begin to overlap.
Your presence curves the air around me—
a space where your eyes have sound and
your words have touch only I can feel.
I am awake. I am present and here.
Embraced by the warm spectacles of our joy,
and entangled data broadcasting information
to and from the source of our souls—secured
only between lines from me to you.
Rendering a field between us filled with you,
filled with me, creating our warmth and presence.
Here we water the gardens of our spirits—
returning the child inside once died but now alive.
I move forward now with that knowing,
with the warmth of what was shared,
with the understanding that some being
does not fade from noise and disorder—
that some is not like the others.

Wave Function
By Kevin Kane
Cells interlinked I am alive
Awake but unable to survive
Fading faces and meta spins
Aching romance particle twins
Wigner's room of lasting being
Love entangled I was truly seeing
Our phases switched and faded
Entropy abound time is invaded
Our lives in vacuums like physics
Meta romance fast beats and kicks
A depth so deep the pace of decay
Superpositions fading slowly away
One last page turned and unturned
Observed and unobserved returned
Some feelings about life and rain
Alive but lonely, in love but in pain
A beauty in the multitude of drops
Memories lost with old play props
Here one moment and gone the next
An aching feeling not truly expressed
.
