The sun shining through textiled plastic
The realisation of our age
All reality is just a theory, hazed by anomalies
The effective reflection of plastic light on the blackboard
Now transformed to white with ageless wisdom
- Jonathan Jouty
Wrote this in chemistry class last year… thanks Tanuj for motivating me to put this up by continuously putting stuff up yourself
A short commentary of what I think about it:
Line 1:
Natural element represented by the sun and fabric. Synthetic and man made represented by plastic. This line shows how man has made nature synthetic.Line 2:
Our modern world is based on the synthetic life we have created.Line 3:
How we try to understand everything, it’s never properly and fully understood. NEVER.Lines 4 & 5:
Plastic light is what we have created from nature, and its effective outcome (reflection) can be seen on the blackboard.
The last line is a mockery of our modern knowledge (not that it is bad, just pretentious) and how with our plastic light we have transformed a perfectly clear mind (the blackboard) to one of deeply incrusted concepts and ideas (chalk on the board).
