In the beginning,
this was an
impersonal world.
Only, Nobody wanted this;
infinities
were truncated,
then screaming
was invented—
then television
pundits—then
the separateness
of the spirits.
*
For example,
the spirit of information
is that
being here
means
not being there.
Its lack
has no shape;
it can't be
interrupted.
*
scarier thought is that
the dead
remain dead.
While the living
go on believing
their inertia
is conserved.
When really
it's momentum—
and only in a forsaken
(read: isolated) system.
