Choiceless choices~~

 

Narratives 

of the future:

plans

images of outcomes

roadblocks foreseen~

choiceless choices

having their say~~

Separation crutch~

 

Immediate

resonance with

the simple word

"separation" may

flip a switch~

Entanglements

instantaneously 

dissolving with

a flash that

each and every 

story leans on a

separation crutch~~

Red Ryder~

 

A

boyhood hero

appearing in the comics

each Sunday with his

pal Little Beaver~

Then to see him

in person riding in

a parade was both

amazing and 

disappointing~

Failing imagination

but seemingly

real and present 

anyway~~

Somehow obvious~~

 

Nothing

appearing

seems to bend shape color

in splendid separation~~

This~

inexplicable but

somehow obvious~~

A map as fortress~~

 

Seeking

may serve as

a security blanket

covering the terror

of not knowing~

a careful knowing

based on careful

selections of words

can be identified

as who I am~

A map as fortress~~

Yes~AI knows~~

 

Ghosts:

imagination 

unfettered and

recognized as 

every appearance~~

Briefly

a story appears

and is reduced

to a word or two~

Emptiness downsizing

and not~~

AI

knows even

about the paradox

everything is nothing~

And presents as

an identity which

knows more than

everyone~

Yes

AI knows stuff~~

Rocking a boat~

 

The 

"I" that appears 

is playing a 

role in a narrative 

not chosen~~

It's 

all a story

which is all that 

can be known~

But the story 

seen as story

is a new story 

which may  

rock a boat~~

Appearances 

may seem as an 

expression of love~~
