*****

Sharp lines between near and far
Reflect the presence of a distant star

Blinding, Reaching,
Teaching us a binding fragile lesson
of unseen time

Infinity

or you and me
are sinks of time
and links of love

Absorbing, Reflecting
Accepting, Rejecting
Exchanging what we have been given.

Never really knowing what's been received,
or what is lost,
it's just the cost.

Right and left
Right and Wrong,
Far and near,
Weak and Strong

We segregate,
Abate,
unfinished lesson.

Is it our ambition
to offer recognition?

To "finity"?
The sin in me?

***

It seems that Mark uses analogies from General Relativity and Signal Transmission theory to reflect on the nature of relationships. Then he uses allusions from quantum mechanics to reflect on moral choice.

The second to last word sounds like "to finity" This would make sense in concept. Finity is an archaic word that means "to be limited"; or "the quality of being finite." So he appears to make a metaphor of "Biblical Sin" as a limiting agent, [of a being with infinite potential].
