these pages are so ephemeral they're just about to disappear.
nothing lasts not even forever but an instant as well.
i may die at any time and sometimes i feel it coming on.
nightmares only point to uselessness of the physical.
i will say goodbye to you now before the net collapses.
suddenly our friends and neighbors vanish forever.
without our a at b addresses we are permanently lost.
diseases and wars take over from depression and suicide.
the cold expansion of the cosmos is closer than we think.
already i gave way to the latest new thing.
my fingers bleed and slip on decayed and corroded ontologies.
nine and a half thousand google hits weigh nothing at all.
like pascal i hold on against the abyss around my arms and hands.
plasmas and meteors take their share of fires and storms.
tornados and floods complete erasures of ten thousand hours.
or more than ten thousand hours and perhaps the history of humanity.
or the history of the earth and the history of the universe.
we're on the cusp of permanent forgetting.
