but it's not just that.
permanence and impermanence.
lasting legacy of what and for how long?
stability defined as: x
the leaning tower of pisa rights.
perception is reality.
and people leap to their deaths in the virtual world.
but where is the line? and more importantly, who drew it?
i kant do that.
and our collective reality mimics meatloaf,
minimizing magnified metamega for milieu,
because what is it all worth/about/settled for/done for/answered by anyways?

goblin mode, 2022.
ok then...
fragments of my metaverse.
blaming my ennui on my gravity disorder.
starseedblahblahblah.
i'm genetically predisposed to lighter climes.
it's my woo-niverse.
and the typing cat fervently, feverishly paws out:
the weight of it all, unbearable.

enjoy the fragmented figments.
flashes of light.
flashbulbs of fame.
reasoning, that recognition fails, fleets, flounders, flops, flippantly flying

und alle einsteigen.
zack. sagt die stutzstaffel.
