Emergence

                  couldnt let eternity go


he had irked him with it

told him Its a system

Every system has a beginning
                                 “In philosophy, system theory, science, and art, emergence occurs when a complex entity has properties or behaviors that its parts do not have on their own, and emerge only when they interact in a wider whole. Emergence plays a central role in theories or integrative levels and of complex systems.”

You said The whole is greater than the sum of its parts
                                                            Misconstrued attributed to Aristotle
Though in the ballpark

Shall we talk about my emergence

You think you have emerged?

Emerged  Evolved
                   You

Depends upon what you mean.

Wha it means to you might be the better question asked
                                                                 Or unasked if you wishwhacha got

You’re confusing me.

Youre easily confused
                        Answer or not the question

You have to say like that?

Your option
              Have you emerged Consider yourself an insect metamorphosizing
Egg  Larva  Pupa  Adolt

Adult.

To some though Im referring to you
You’re an asshole.

An asshole with an asshole

What do you mean?

What does it mean to you
                           But lets not slip my first inquiry  Have you emerged

I don’t know where this is going.

It aint goin anywherestagnant until you   dare I  begin
                                                              Or are you tha eternity you insist is without beginning without end
Boorish

Emerged


    I don’t know how to answer you correctly.

Theres no right or wrong answer
                                    All you have to do is say
Fuckinsaysomething


he stoodpat blinking   erratic
                                 a yellow  faulty  caution  light
Nothing

    Thinking.

Doesnt look like thinking
                             Looks like eluding

Like you’d know what that looks like.

Im looking at it
                  Or maybe its simple evasion
I getting ready to roll you a dunce cap
No right or wrong answer

It feels like there is.

Yahwell Im not tellinya how to feel thas on you
                                                    Need an example to getya goin

You do to begin
                 You call me granular
Correct

I have.
Progress
           Anwhy

You’re particular.
                   Detailed.

Youre broadstrokes

You could say.

I did
         Emerging from granular I admit I am holistic  Originally I thought thorough then I thought anal who likes to be analdifferent from liking anal   Now I believemore correctly  I am obstinate
