The Hole in Space
Mother Combs Campfire Challenge - A Short Poem With a Hat
The hole in space was in the corner of my closet
I had it hidden under an old hat I owned
It was best to keep it covered
If you looked at it too closely your mind would rebel and a wave of nausea would follow
It is impossible to describe in any meaningful way
It is easier to say what it is not
It is not a hole, or a rip, or a rend, or any other tear in the fabric of reality.
It is not a wormhole, or dimensional gateway, or quantum fluctuation, or any other such science fiction device
It is simply a hole in space
It needs to be filled
It needs to be fixed
It needs to be closed
For now the hat will have to do

I laughed and dismissed any and all such claims as bogus and assumed my friend would do the same, but he did not. In fact, to my great surprise, he got real still, looked me in the eyes and said, “Dan, I’m a believer, people can and do have psychic abilities, and I happen to be one of them.” Immediately I began to chuckle thinking he was playing some sort of joke on me, but after a few seconds, when he did not join in, I awkwardly coughed, apologized, and asked him to explain. “OK, buddy, I’m intrigued, tell me exactly what this so called psychic power of yours is, and of course I am then going to need to see a demonstration.” He gathered himself for a moment and I could tell he was thinking deeply, trying to determine the best way to explain himself. After a few moments of silence he began.
