ghosts of old city
traded souls for

litte printed slips

and boxes for holding

lifetime guarantees

on shiny black shoes 

and jungle boots

just interchangeable parts to
capitalize on collective agency

--metaphysics in the Post-Modernist Age

 

the dynamic of cellular automata in 

a closed-loop system having

negligible recursivity becomes

a living thing

--The New Ecology

we are redundant in
the day-to-day

--Mechanical.



“He who sows is not the same as
he who reaps.”
 

 

Is it true the painted dove

Is coming home

Crashing windows

On the wings of Tesla's love?
