Colorless Green Ideas

Placed in L5 spinning in axis The black metal engine waits for its master The Laban fires her jets and moves into position bringing the overdrive into the hold The symbols on the case are hard to read so I load a translation firmware burned in the silicon implants from powdered stone that were once my eyes on Mormon overdrive to the stars I am what I once was and lo my soul has grown to a lordly compass within the souls of the ten million tiny robots that make me who I am I can no longer drink wine the gray suffused into my veins I can no longer smoke because I no longer breathe I eat once a week or whenever I need to add new parts do androids dream of electric sheep? I wait in reefersleep and take care of those within asleep frozen waiting like comets on an arc of new life like the waking limb pins and needles pins and needles and stars and songs nice to know you Goodbye

Boston is a beautiful place where everyone can run their own race Where people can simply be and people can be free It's been too long since the last tea party Tyranny takes a new name and a new face Tyranny of the Mind Tyranny of the Flesh Schedule in ink upon skin A Post Humanist World Set aside grace Set aside love like a Seminary long having changed its name and forgotten Boston A fair city May it help me to remember your face And to those who travel that way may God keep safe It's ok. You don't have to believe, here in the ancient of days

Here are my thoughts that are your thoughts that have been our thoughts since before time began and after it will end First, dead air rings through the sky because all of that time was not when we were alive the realm of soft illusion that we never lived and all the world unborn And this brings us to music you play during sex but it's all just music on hold maybe like life a bit you and me breeders And so we weave our way into enfoldment of space and time that keeps a pocket of miracle left from all the disease and our soft eyes and fading senses return us to the place we came Plant me in the ground next to a redwood or an oak but never a pine Let my body feed the world as I have fed from it and never be its mistress but its lover and friend the ocean closes in And the Gryphon rises with terrible Will carrying valentine to twenty nines that every four years adds one more day of life To you.

On hold music whispers Friendly conversation fills the hallway and the phone cradle set against my ear feels calm I take a drink of water and break an aspirin with my thumb The irregular half popped into my mouth and chased with cool water as violins play music to my ear What is it about classical music that makes it timeless? Music soothes the savage beast and gives us a taste of the beyond While someone on the end of the line with whom I am talking runs diagnostics and sets everything right The violins in symphony carrying me forward in time second by second minute by minute In some ways warm In some ways cold Younger than my teeth Older than my tongue

Blow the explosive bolts stage separation falls to earth parachute unfold destined to the water off the Florida coast We are approach escape velocity Opening the engine wide We design a course to the stars Full throttle into the dark Where no man has gone before

I know let's say he's a narcissist Then we don't have to thing about the fact that he's writing about God or tearing out our intestinal tract and replacing it nanobots Let's call him self absorbed then we don't have to think about the fact that he's writing about Politics losing friends left and right mostly right He doesn't share pictures of children or wives or lovers He doesn't write about others He doesn't buy into the holy atheist temple of I, me, my, mine He isn't sure we can sense all we can see or see all that we can sense He believes in the invisible sky God He thinks tattoos are a way assert control over our own flesh He writes about polyamory and he plays Megadeth Let's call him a narcissist Berate him Forsake him Forget him better still

You have caused pain and it has been felt by another it has stopped them from being able to feel and tainted their love You have caused sorrow and it has been felt by your lover it has stopped them from feeling real and sent them to another You have complications and they have obscured the beauty of the simple things You have forgotten the miracle and wonder In its place you have created information and complexity You have built a resistance to feeling things everything is perfect just the way it seems Except for a pair of angel wings that fly you low to the ground and keep you from harm and remind you That life is for the living and love conquers all Amor Vincit Omni

I have a great Idea for a game see if you like it First, we seed the solar system with comets and set everything up so that every now and then one begins The long haul down toward the sun and hits this planet where water coexists with ice coexisting with steam Then, we let bits and pieces of stuff we want you know, the DNA that smells good let it find a foothold Add maybe, what would you say? 3 billion years or so? And see what grows. I bet you anything that we will get sentient life. Let's put them in orbit just far enough away so that they get wiped out every ten or twenty million years or so but just close enough so they can adapt and select and know what it's like to be alive before the explosion And darkness upon the face of the deep. In Heaven. No one can hear you scream.

She was printed from the core of an asteroid Each part lovingly sculpted and assembled by robots Near earth orbit at Lagrange Point Three Ice in her hull forms a radiation barrier and a breakaway shield I took helm in the last part of the year But first I got rid of my intestine and stomach And like a Hindu Love God I added a few more arms Then, in the weightlessness of space my ears long removed I floated toward her with a bottle of champagne and crashed it on her hull The beautiful graphic tracing up along her nose Nostalgia for Infinity And I pointed her homeward to the stars

We travel from one point to another in love From nothingness to being From dark to light From loneliness to companionship And from companionship to sense and the vast landscape that holds our spirit Where we are all part of a divine dance that began from before we were born and continues far after our death Glimpsed, if for a few moments But remembered Forever
