l am grateful for the rigour
of the super astral
a verticality that cuts through
the Gordian Knot of wishy-washy
custard horizontality
a sword of light disinfecting
the bullshit of pretence
cutting down the flexing of egos
falsifying the smokescreens
of Narcissus infatuated con artists
swiftly ascending, descending
the ladder of abstraction
listful to logical typing
unearthing errors hemmed & hawed
by layered lazy cognition
a bias for action it
playfully manipulates symbols
traverse thought experiments
until something clicks
the penny drops, the double helix revealed
upending the constancy of space & time
when one rides the speed of light
is the constant when geometry's not flat
in dynamic contact with what is alive
honing, zooming in, dissecting
getting at the bottom of things
plucking the patterns of
causation, correlation, disambiguation
replicable processes create the Technium
efficacy as measure of truth
the power of this reduction, a dutiful servant
it must remain
never a master lest we all perish
in a paperclip maximiser myopia
of algorithmic worship.
