Transcendent Reality

as our horizon
between digital
and physical
fades,
even those,
not predisposed
to spiritual,
or scientific
reflection,
will be inclined
to question,
what is real?
and what,
is the topology,
of that reality.
perceptually,
however,
it must
have a.
boundary.
and it is
at this,
interface,
of real,
and unreal,
where,
we will,
make schemes,
to dream,
new dreams!
