A Theory

Preview edition — Poet of Bedtime Hush is still in progress. The poem is as it appears in the video; the commentary is a working draft.

We live in a world full of theories

Some etched in your diaries, others you had seen them in series

They maybe serious or even mysterious

A theory can come up with ideas that can twist beyond your wrist

But don't resist them, an assumption or hypothesis or however you take it

Has life been like slopes of trials untold, or rain that falls in drops of gold

Loss and gain, or moments shifting, bright and plain

Uncompared to these, I hope at least you had a sense of peace

With ease am referring to the theory of multiverse travel which unravels your life pieces

It's maybe humbling seeing your other versions and their repercussions

Or stumbling into different dimensions that can make a heart stop

This theory sounds fictional but its rational is on top

As a thinker, this theory may loop you

Perhaps the key is to live the best version of you

Commentary

This short reflective poem asks readers to think about how they live by imagining other versions of themselves. It moves from plain observation to a gentle challenge in its last line.

The speaker begins by noting that “We live in a world full of theories,” some “etched in your diaries” and others met “in series.” A theory can “twist beyond your wrist,” and the speaker urges the reader not to “resist them,” whether they are called an assumption or a hypothesis.

Life, the speaker wonders, may be like “slopes of trials untold” or “rain that falls in drops of gold,” a mixture of loss and gain. The poem then turns to “the theory of multiverse travel,” where seeing “other versions” of yourself might be humbling or might make “a heart stop.”

Although the idea “sounds fictional,” the speaker calls it rational and warns that it may “loop” a thinker. The poem closes with a plain suggestion: “Perhaps the key is to live the best version of you.”
