DISINTEGRATION
continuity in question
nothing can be
trusted to be
what it once
seemed.
Empty supermarkets
not even trying
to keep people out
what clerks still
with jobs standing
around aimlessly
the shop steward
out of work.
Saltwater crocodiles
as if the sharks
aren’t bad
enough
primordial
conservation
of energy.
Battery powered
paperweights
sitting idly in
the evaporating
cloud. Where
do the electrons
go when they are
no longer needed
as messengers?
It’s a rhetorical
question. It’s the
primordial
conservation
of energy
still. It is only
we who attribute
particular value
to certain
structures
and behaviors
of particles.
That’s OK.
That’s as it
has been it
being what
it is isn’t it?
But that doesn’t
mean that it
needs always
to be any
particular
what it is
that it is.
It turns out
we can’t
presume
that it won’t
change.
It isn’t what
it was. It is
what it wasn’t.
Congestive
heart failure
on a global
scale. All
systems
going.
Spiritual vacuum.
