If the universe is connected, then we are all connected?

If the universe is connected,
then we are all connected?
I want to break free
of that connection.
I want to make art
that isn’t of the past.
I want to create new
not alter parts
rather find entirely new parts
as they did
in the times before now.
When they were gifted
with the newness of life
of having fewer books
and fewer connections to the past
and they could create
and they could design
and they could set rules
in which we now all follow.
If only we could
repaint our past
hang up new signs
and let the dead be dead
as we allow ourselves to create again.
Graffiti the buildings
burn our money
shred the cards
close the banks
and just create
something entirely different
that for once
isn’t about one hovering above
rather all standing together
and then
I’ll be willing
to fuse that connection
once again
because it’d be worth it.

Thanks for reading.
