The Meta-Zone – 7th October 2026

Awed by eternal inflation
   brane strings me along
In infinite miniature
   a brain fractures in fractals.

Where am I going?  
Where have I been?
Nice to meet you, Mae—

'Is that a universe in your pocket
   or are you just pleased to see me?'

Shared with dVerse Quadrille #257: A Pocket in Your Poems, using The Meta-Zone from the comic book Shade The Changing Man and some words and phrases taken from string theory, pointing towards the idea of a pocket universe.

Today’s Daily Stoic poem:

A Selfish Reason To Be Good

The person doing wrong wrongs themselves
Never does the wrongdoer feel great
Ask if the result is really what you want for yourself
Because catharsis is not all you will create
