Do Not Flee

this is a deep brain thing
not a big brain thing
Also relevant: tree up and quit being such a bush
so this isn’t art, either

Time isn’t change
change happens both ways
time is order---->disorder
time is only that and they can’t prove otherwise
they are you + them

Order needs a definition
definition needs to come from you
a vase does not prefer to be whole or broken
or fashioned from dust, ever
Paramount: time begins when you begin to care

btw - quarks agree, even absent tiny vases

Algebraically
(all the shit they cannot see)n is they + all the shit they see
nothing is everything, true, but the road isn’t quite that straight
“Yet he was here then, and presently he is not”
“Agreed. But he is still here then, as are you”

They reside in palindrome
but insist on living left to right
the burden of proof isn’t a hot potato
they proposed time, they subsequently found quarks
and there’s no Dreadnoughtus in anyone’s ancient literature

That’s a 65 ton mistake. Time weighs nothing

Yes, we are sure
we can be me + you + my dog
but you are existentially inert
I have thoughts on space*

* In theory, theory and practice are the same. In practice, they are not. Sentiment from Benjamin Brewster, 1882, The Yale Literary Magazine. Einstein was not yet 3 years old. Note that what Mr. Brewster penned remains the most durable test to determine which of the two we’re experiencing, theory or practice, and to which we may owe allegiance. Relative, of course, to the argument we’re making.
