space is where all the good stuff is happening
emptiness
autumn 2200
“and no more sadness than absolutely necessary.”
worm song
(a zeze, a six stringed two necked instrument.)
its necks are infested with worms,
eating away the insides of the wood,
producing small heaps of dust on the ground
where it leans against the wall.
the musician plays,
while the neck is disappearing under his hands.
eventually, it will break under the pull of the strings,
maybe even in the middle of a tune.
but, at this moment, we can still hear the musician play.

bird songs
the bird songs are complex
and simple.
the bird songs are fine.
you hear yours,
i hear mine.
the bird songs are fine.

nothing on this table’s mine.
nothing on this bed is mine.
it may have been, for a short time.
nothing in this room is mine.
true cloud storage
hereby suggested a model in which files are never stored on any disk or medium anymore, but forever kept in transit, i.e. network interfaces configured such that every incoming packet gets forwarded and sent out again without ever being stored. a network of hosts to be configured to reflect files in such a way.
files may at all times be extracted from this transient non-storage, and played, processed, whatever. yet they never are stored anywhere.
if no prior art exists, these here lines constitute it.
a sun
i had invented
a sun
to explode in my body
and wipe away all sorrow.
and then
i did not know
who to give it to.
