Because if...

A half-forgotten chemical reaction
triggered by light-patterns on the screen
A bubble breaks, a sea-breeze blows, they wonder what it means -

Because five billion years ago, a tremor almost went unnoticed

Because five months ago, I found another frequency

because someone decided that we all ought to learn to read

like a dream, like a dream, don't
don't stop asking why
because

Because if...
Because if a butterfly flaps it's wings...

Somewhere infinite
A cell divides
bifurcations, chaos calling, turning only just aside
to free-fall

three-point-five, billion years ago, was someone out there
did they know

thirty, million years ago, there's someone out there
do they know?

like a spark, the clay half formed
mid-perception, I have known
a dream...
a never-ending second, reliving each synapses

And so another network formed
because we weren't content, to be alone

Celebration, recreation, 
information-inspiration

Give me a single factor
That cannot be controled
Let me change the world

Because if...
Because if a butterfly in Peking...
...if a photon in the darkness can altercate the beating of a heart
...if I can touch the world, with silicon and steel
...if I don't remember yesterday, tomorrow... or do...

and if this statement is neither true or false, but simply
nonexistent

if...
then...
if... then...
then I'll see you on the flipside, just a beam of light away
