Amidst
the transnational alchemies
of our days:
“unfit to be reli’d on”
“obscure, Ambiguous,
and almost Ænigmatical Way of expressing”
“they have no Mind, to be understood at all,
but by the Sons of Art (as they call them)
nor to be Understood even by these without
Difficulty And Hazardous Tryalls.”
“Build upon… Experiments,
which questionless they never try’d;
for if they had, they would, as well as I,
have found them not to be true.”
Therein, Today’s Doctrine of The Digital Elements,
lies the care, compassion, empathy, integrity,
well-being or human discernment
as absent, faint or feint artifacts centrifuged to the periphery
