Schödinger's Devotion
as they keep us too poor to pay attention
quasi-poets and other demigods
cospeciated endosymbionts
catastrophe + inevitability = tragedy
agency – certainty = fallibility
facts and reason and compassion and
other conservativicides
the interminable transfer of ownership
rumored renaissance
the retroactive imposition
of structure and value
elaborate delusional systems
recontextualizing experience
that filter what flitters from what fits
I meet you and think,
"Will you assuage the longing?"
he who can take a strategic loss
to improve his long-term outlook
