Poetry On The Odyssey: Mind Over Matter

Our minds are the strongest substance on the earth.

Carbyne is the strongest substance in the world.

Graphene could not break it, and a diamond could not touch it.

Yet it grows in fear of matter. Will it melt, boil, or freeze?

Voltaire was wrong, because two certain amusements could ruin the world.

These amusements strengthen the Carbyne, makes it powerful.

Only its reactivity is a cause for its destruction.


Matter is never created or destroyed, only transformed, manipulated.

Carbyne is created but not destroyed, only manipulated, transformed.

Would that mean Carbyne is matter, or did it miss the cut?

Is it greater than matter for the ability to be created?

For it can be duplicate again and again, yet the same amount of matter remains.

Carbyne never ends.


Yet, if matter is everything, then is Carbyne not matter?

Of course, it matters, all matter matters if all is matter.

Humans are solids, they boil in the sun and freeze in the winter.

Never liquid, never gas.

Even so, they worry about matter.

The most resilient form of matter, only reactivity is their destruction.


Humans are the universe,

A searching spirit.

Einstein had it wrong, for one thing is true,

The universe is infinite,

which means so are you.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
