We can numb it with
ice. It might take time.
But o’clock we’ve got.
And at absolute zero,
frozen stares and
charges flow in pairs,
with even the halting
halted on stairs, and
hate might as well
be a popsicle stand
and it’s loving
standing still,
by the way.
You get to travel
really far. But first
you had to be
transmogrified
to ash and gas,
and some of your
atoms will reach
escape velocity
and fall back into
the sun. It was
borrowed material
anyway, and fine
free Someday
was a good day
for returns anyway.
3D printing everything,
copying it bit by bit.
Filament is made from
bits of real world”,
the ad says. The duplicate
will be indistinguishable
from the original. My
evil plan is afoot. I
don’t worry about
fidelity. My
predecessor
didn’t either.
Evil hands wring
“muahahah.”
5 May 1586: Following the death of her father, Henry Sidney former Lord Deputy of Ireland #otd, Mary Herbert Sidney #poet & Countess of Pembroke retires to Wilton (NPG)
Silence has a
tremor to it
a tremble like
a quiet cold. I

massive
goosebumps.
But super speed or

cool kids and I
get a preview while
freezing in the quiet,
cupped hand, ear.

3 May 1641: John Suckling, #poet & alleged inventor of cribbage, erstwhile MP, is investigated by a Commons committee #otd for allegedly recruiting men to spring the Earl of #Strafford from captivity
The art of persuasion
in a world of infinite
is that the ant can
always shove the
rubble down the hill
and blame the gravity
of the situation.
And Sisyphus will
never see the ant’s
mandibular snicker
as he WTFs. But he
knows the agent of
his distress

Just show up every day. Not to hold humanity in contempt. Trust me, humanity already knows its flaws and chooses to ignore. Just show up to create. Consistency is the diatribe against the night. It is the canyon where a river once flowed.
