At Morrison\u2019s<\/strong><\/p>\n He tells me this is how it feels to come back from the dead; a jolt, like tripping over the raised corner of a paving slab, tasting dirt and grit and finding how strong gravity is. I tell Jim I need specifics I need specifics. He starts talking quantum physics and equations, how Einstein’s formulation that E=MC2 can be adapted to suit any scenario.<\/p>\n Take E=M for example, provable as soon as M gets knocked on its arse sideways. It needs a visionary to see things others don’t, he slurs, like when trees fall – how their vibrations travel through the universe in waves beyond a mind like mine. This is what he was driving at when he screamed break on through to the other side that first time; sound amplified by cables and magnets, able to project a voice beyond any parameters available at the point of utterance. And on the way out, he murmurs, make sure you close the doors behind you.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Matt West<\/strong> has an MA in Creative and is Southampton\u2019s Poet Laureate for Children.
