Virtuality Con/Jur/d, 4/29/2022 Don’t get me wrong I’ve been wanting this my entire life, when I said to her, “He tells people I invented cyberpunk, at least foresaw” And to my surprise she agrees, saying “Remember how given only a command line you would describe how it would be, how it is now?” And I don’t Which I’m told is a sure sign of prophecy this forgetting, ever since during dull moments, when the sun off snow despite the tinting made my eyes water in the graduate library pulling books on Kabbalah, Quantum Physics, Imaginary Maths, it's been clear, we would be here now with so much further to go, although given this falsely infinite horizon The only thing I can recall, with clarity those early days of Zen, the song went up and down and the sunlight on the wooden slats, the feel of carpet beneath my stockinged toes.

Looking at it as something
accomplished leads to trouble
a series of events, curling
curling
curling
back from this morning
when considering the audacity
of it, decided to not write
something dedicated
to the Doctor Who
in all their
incarnations, until
inexplicably, the playlist
decided to play the theme song
the sense we’re just puppets
programmed by forces be yond
our control -
Never said it out loud
didn’t type the name until after
Bypassing decay, some of us
experience random coincidences
more often than others
Late night, as a teen
Doctor Who would be broadcast
after all the normalizing television
my mother would insist on staying up
only to fall asleep, waking up
at the last possible moment, demanding
“What happened? What happened?”
I learned how to condense
convoluted characters, plot points
sheer and utter nonsense
into concise, credible
stories. Later, after
Mom had died, never having met
her granddaughter and I had sent
daughter Who memorabilia
and media
so often
she suspected I was
an unfranchised regeneration
And before the lockdown
already a young adult
ahe stayed with us for a week
and despite my wife’s objections we
stayed up very late watching
because it was important
Much love y’all!
