Death mask

If you can predict it
It is not emergent
Beauty is agency, but
there is a surprising depth
to the artificial

Imagine that moment
When it all ends …
Is it a break in the
continuity of flow?
the simulation …
The moment when the
linearity goes away
with a sudden click?
Is it a wonderful rush
to a tunnel of brilliant light?
What are the emotions that
wash over in that final instant?
Will the death mask
capture a final breath?
Would that matter?

Creativity is all about letting go
The loss of control is control.
Giving peace to will
Pointing to the moon
To get to the moon

A flaw is an
increased surface area,
a riddled texture
Loneliness is
the formula for creativity
and when what is lost
is found
that anxiety just goes away,
Suddenly

Death is probably like that
