PASSED INTO VAGUER STATES
only in delusion
only in escape
we can not believe
what status seems
we can not accept
the functions hope
in sure descent
pre-determined
some systems linger
from ancient agos
we see them arising
out of the grey
detailing the structure
if not the intent
which fades out, forgotten
back into the mists
what opens tomorrow
in alien times?
we can not predict
without caveats
built from a history
of failure and pain
and fear against hoping
to not shatter again
what motive action
within the morass?
is it robot compliance
running through old commands,
or autonomic twitching
reactive to states
divorced from all reason
all willful intent?
too many factors
applied in the mix
too many dimensions
to functionally grid
we are lost in the flow
swept along with the tide
unable to steer
or know when arrived
