Incipient Spheres of the Exploding Connectome

suppose we all feel it

life and death

sorrow and joy

in all the cells of the global organism

the people over there

on the other side of this nascent blob.

we felt it in the mediums

chemical electrical magnetic media.

you don't even need ETs or deities

you can encode information in a connected intelligent system

in any number of ways.

everything leaves a trace

even before the internet was born

even before prokaryote was born.

listen all ye

we are in the jelly

in the aether of ALL of US.

the jelly wiggles

and it's wiggling so much we can hardly find any wiggle room

like a tragic bark upon a romantic painting.

but listen all ye

if you can receive 

you can also transmit    !

the art: 

it clearly shows the incipient Spheres bathed in cold dark dusty plasma

surrounded by the ejected crust of its former existence. 

save this work.  find out how.

acrylics, paper, pencil, ink & plastic scraps on canvas

going into hivernation now

while the icy wind knocks down the stands

diving into damp soil

when the sky above is fire

the nail that sticks out gets hammered down

but when you squish a thing it squishes out somewhere else

let's create a plasmatic evolutionary biohistory of human culture; art, politics, war, &&

what are the people/ what are you?

and what's the purpose of a trillion dollar black mirror?

(from the perspective of a plasmatic biological analysis 

of a web of inseparable thinking systems 

such as machines and humans also dogs and cats, bugs, smaller bugs 

and sorry, but yes rocks and dirt.)

are we trying to see who or what we are?

what's the rush?

or is this just humans gotta human?

Fake Utility Demon doesn't care what's in the box 

brains are surfing on what they give you for the boxboy 

flowing down the pinball symbol skyway

when you talk about control, first identify what level of control you're thinking of

in the tower

whose number of floors up and down is still uncertain 

you life of a cell 

biology watchers will see the patterns

the same fractals at all scales

maybe you can save the world you beautiful butterfly

when channels you use are co-opted, corrupted, useless 

the best option is moving on

new shoots new roots

what was important is now an impediment

(of your thinking) 

(of your house)

(the yard?)
