Identifiction

A familiarity with words and a remorse so strong it liquifies things
which approved of our having trains run toward the western mountain sun
sets over a time period the sole motivator in a situation whose disapproval
of would cause the bravest to drown within the least traveled areas of all
the renowned twisted interpenetrating worlds of slowly gearing up
shockwaves expanding into a shivered hide stretched on the solar flux
hurtling into withinity while the electrocuted transform into psalm

—a world of incalculable value heaping upon the tides
of expansive destruction in crest upon wave of demented disorder
in rifle scopes and surplus routes and drone attacks under satellite
surveillance in the dead of night gone gathering flowers
for penetrating towers collapsing through thermite dust
well it shows up on the furrowed brows of legion among
the many in the process of forgetting the reasons score
upon score quite perfectly seasoned have quieted from—

with regards to language their trade-off was for a utility belt
by which to measure each succeeding term as an identification key
in return for their terse sorrow to be packed away unbecoming
for examination in the attic on a winter's simple morning along
with the wooden case of marbles with the inlaid lid of tiles
fired so long ago in a blue collar kiln it might as well be fog
collected in a harbor where the waves roll in to lap our shore
as a stray dog at his water bowl does when the sun light arrives
through window glass for the first time in the morning.

  1. Here is explained as tersely as one might why your own identity has been made up entirely of unassociated reflections conditioned for generations of humanoid robot behavior programmed beforehand to appear as if it were not merely an appendage sent out a long time ago for a now defunct problem we happened to solve after all without knowing about it.

    That would be the problem of you. Luckily there is no need to worry yourselves about it because you are free now and how terrifying is that.
    Please note that withinity is in fact a word and the living proof is sitting here right before you.
