Harvesting a buried painting from the earth in late October 2023. oil/collage/bone
the imagined belief interrupts the critical factor
official technocrats announced Monday
that holography can work on what you already paid for
…but you know how that goes
holography sounds a lot like
bending a staff into waves
I’m more interested in the laser
the Zia
that doesn’t encounter a time barrier or any irrelevance
surrounded by dated marks
it is melody and musical notation
hear a tune play about shifting the strain in forms
edges and interior angles melt
motion flooded gliding parts
burying older gadgets
add another page and layer to the landfill
another brief still life surface spoiled
oracles from the underworld tell us the future will be claimed by an unidentified cosmic object
so meet the smartest item that answers and restricts further editing
an open object without vain intention and meddling interpolation
while equipment that silently lacks possessiveness
lays cradled in dirt that grows
