Our hearts switched on together

@ 4:20

The human embryonic heart starts beating at 21 to 23 days after fertilization

We were born on the 3rd of December

Within an hour of each other

On the north side of the City in a hospital ward

You were buried in Glasnevin cemetery in your family plot

I was 21, we were still, cosmic twins

Life began here 3.5 billion years ago

100,000 years ago, we made rudimentary tools

We ate better and the hunter's protein rich diet expanded our minds and our memory and our imagination and our consciousness

We are sentient now

Contemplating AI

On September 11th you had your seventh birthday

I sent no present

And broke even in the Casino that evening

With a mix of Poker and 21

Frank was a painter

Aisling was a gatherer

Saoirse foretold the future

Jim was in the Matrix

Olive was a narrator

And Nigel played the dried out, hollowed out, drift wood tree trunk, that was washed up on the shore

In the sky the satellites looked like stars

Especially the geostatic ones

Others were wandering stars, Planets on high

Energy was trapped into matter

The strong and the weak nuclear forces 

Held us from parting at the speed of light in all direction

In 3 dimensions

There was the known and the unknown

And in between were the Idols 

All the characters that had printed their lives onto ours

All hail the Starship enterprise

Let’s do this

Let’s build a City on Mars

Look where we worship. 
We all live in the city. 
The city forms- often physically, but inevitably

"People are mistaken when they think that technology just automatically improves... It only improves if a lot of people work very hard to make it better"

Hey Jimmy, where ' you going
Jimmy where ' you going
