If light matters
matters of light
lightly matter
material might

sounding bells
as fantasy spells
and dormitory rhymes
hyping rhythm fusing sight

stop: intention

Poetic dust settles boys
come in to play with real
strengthen the shores
for reel in your mores

shower off darkness
wipe feet with memories
whip sticks to hammers

compose: intention

See not your words
sense not your hurt
think not your meaning

yet
swaying sifting cubes
geometries n topologies
lurk

move: intention
move intention
and listen lightly

The emergence at the borderland
is where knowing is one of no idea
as dark energy, enlightening data
waving for it to matter

There we know we could explain
from left from right, further down encroaching from left, groping at epistēmē
further from right, right there are unknowns

Appropriately deforming rapprochements
to gain “that little extra closeness”
serendipitously: it really does
for a prepared mind serenely ‘t does

Placing focusing
altering by observation
wandering wonder
laying imagination

There is that moment
where speech falls behind
yet words
words

Are words are
the only crumbs at hand
to lead us all,
the seeing blind

“I had an idea
crystal clear in my mind
Just now just here?”

Juiette seemed to remember
being unsettled

“I have a tune in mind
’t was harmonized
My vocal cords?”

Juiete hummed,
crackling out of tune unheard

“I have a smell
reminding me of Boston
Is it sensible to be living in Brussels now?”

Juiee disorientated
the glitching nozzle of her tea pot

“I had a love so real
the inside of my elbows tinkle
and arthritis makes it rain?”

Juie, ah, Jui,
mon amour, amplified

“I still have it all,
I still have it all.
Can I attenuate?”

Ju shook off
the virtual reality engine
and stared vastly at her fluffy artificial companion

out of batteries;
what time is it in its circuitries?

“It’s accidental,”
J murmured

Their World is a transparent world
All are seen and yet
all are cramped

into the headgear panopticon inspection house:
a living room labeled cozy, looking out
into emptied cells surrounding

The Bureau of Digitization and Erasure,
a guardrail and governance provider,
made being-on-the-look-out redundant

keeping watch is now open-sourced,
spatially computed, and edge-democratized.
So, no one indulges to care

“though, they should look down
further down, no, even further
then their screens shine up,” someone dared

“Beneath the tiles, into the underlayment,
disregarding the existence of a floor,
There, or so some are told,
flows a community flourishing

The Hush Artists
creators nay saviors
of forbidden arts undigitized

an underground of gazing
with noses, ears, yes,
even touch and taste are on the market

for an analog
vestibular proprioceptive experience
you pay more”

“yo bro, a sniff from a charcoal artist
goes for .003 Crypto on the Zettachain,”
a grifting floorganger whispers, “get two for one.”

They are toxic and browser-page empty
to any digital dematerial girl
senselessly conforming into
measurements and cybercorrectness

“don’t look so down,
look up into 100000 lux
the future is positive
future is blue,”
rang the midday reminder.

All are seen yet all are cramped
by their adoptions
of another one’s words.

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,

for if they had, they would, as well as I,

Nova was never woken. No clock, no urgency, no obligation. She wills wake. She wakes the morning. She wakes the morning with a solar plexus personifying a call for innovation. Refreshing, renewing, redoing, building on.

The “Good morning!” she offers her life’s partner, the children, the pets, is not the same as the one yesterday. Nor as that day when Nova heard the birds at earliest hours in her parent’s peach tree outside the window, Beethoven, Bert and Ernie’s blues-esque duckling song, Singing Bowls, “The Revolution Will Not Be Televised,” and Stockhausen, and Nine Inch Nails (simultaneously, all at once, and, or not) for the first time. For the first time even if it were a second serving.

“You remember that good morning?” She’d ask. Just as that day Nova crashed her father’s computer or burned out a cpu for the first time. “Literally, a flame! Hell-oooo!” with or without pitch-increasing vocalization.

They, that’s not Beethoven, and rather the family, the neighbors, the baker, or the neigh-sayer on the corner, might notice they might not. It is not her point. “Innovation is relational,” she knew, and yet: “not necessarily proclaimed, announced, published or yelled from the top of the public roof.”

For Nova, innovation is learning and note-taking in highest gears. It’s upbeat, downbeat, sideways or critically syncopated. It is minute. And it’s grand. It’s plural. Always plural. It’s sub, con, pre, peri, post and hypertext. Innovation is not only plug ’n’ play gadgets for Nova. And yet, those she imagines, recycles, invents, improves, hacks, mods, jugaads, shanzhais, scampers, with that first innovation at the core of her early mornings.

“I love innovation, as I love that first kiss offered to me; renewal when meant,” she claimed.

“There!” whispered Bruce,
“quietly look, look carefully across the tokens,”
moving aside the layers, upon layers of inexplicable densities

with his encoded hand and encrypted rolled up sleeves,
“there: ontological independence,
pure, unadulterated, ontological independence”

The words strung together probabilistically
In a copiousness of false pears being apples,
comparably to oranges being squared

Looking at them
alters their states
Gazing glazes over their skin

in a moment of systemic synthetic falseness
as close-knitted grapes with a wasp in between them,
waiting for you to gulp and be stung with its citric authority

in blinding hypnosis of a sultan’s garden
or that Eden with a snake delirious and his fixating stare
in eidetic optimism and heaped hope for you to take a bite:

“Own up to it, human,
bite me or be data bitten,
either way, median human:

own it, or be owned”
