dead meaning either passed or yet to exist.
I know the pattern of every vein on every leaf of every tree,
and the intricate design of every snowflake that has fallen, is falling or will fall.
I know because they are me and I am them.
Next eon is yesterday.
Last millennium is me about to cook dinner for the universe.
I know know no time because I am all time, before time.
When past future and present were one,
I was writing haiku in a field of flowers under the sun,
and raindrops fell upwards,
and clouds blew backwards and forwards simultaneously.
The poem I wrote on a pad of rice paper that didn't exist,
with the long feather of a bird whose egg was made of soil,
dipped in ink ground from an ink stone that was half unearthed minerals
and half absence of human toil, read:

Dear father and son,
my age is now and never.
Sincerely, no-one.
