perception’s toolbox of technologies comes standard
it’s hard-wired into the operating system of human ‘be’-ings

but ‘personal’ applications of those technologies, with the ensuing explanations, meanings and beliefs about objects/events perceived, are wholly acquired

these acquisitions, imports from social consensus via parents, education, church and state, constitute the software called ‘self’

don’t ask me how, but unclouded apperception of this dynamic inserts a terminal virus into the hardware

melt-down is immanent and inescapable

the vast spacious freedom that was never absent for one moment
flowers

and you are in awe that such a simple shift
could change everything
yet alter nothing
