does anyone else get the feeling that life isn’t over
that decisions made today
can still impact the course of tomorrow
?

to think the things we make are not already fossils
but alive, unextinct, impactful,
in the living, breathing, bleeding present?
?

the weight of eternity beyond the light of conscious life
presses down against our collective imagination
what could be snuffed out by what could not
!

somehow, fucking somehow, life exists today
listen, and be kind. time is never trivial
the mind wanders beyond the limits of the flesh
i do not woe the rot
