I am unquantifiable life force pulsating through matter in mysterious ways. I don’t want your labels nor hourly wages. I am worth multiplicity and boundlessness. It’s a strange experience to live in a reduced container of possibility as such. I look around in sheer disbelief at the human willingness to live less. Subnatural circumstances, artificial intelligences, systemic imbalances, and constant inflation.
Inflation is worth-less-ness. It is a human invention. Because *nothing* in actuality is ever worth less than the quality it holds. It’s a game, you see, and everyone is losing. It would be funny if it weren’t so painfully unnecessary. The human experience teetering at the edge of a cliff.
If there is a desire to live, and live well, tilt your weight towards the Earth. Hold on to a tree. Collaborate with fungi. Learn from lichen. Get cellular signal from your own body. Call everyone you know from that place, howling loudly, without shame. We do need you on the edge of that cliff, growing roots from the soles of your feet and into the soil, like a tree seemingly defying gravity, but held in place firmly by the grace of equilibrium.

I don’t want to make sense
I want to make waves
I want neon discomfort to shoot from your finger to your toe and I want that discomfort to remind you of something and to recalibrate your next move in alignment with your essence
I want to bewilder and confuse in fluorescent flashes
From your finger to your toe all the way into that wired arpeggio circuit in your skull cave
I want you to be brave
Meaning full of fear in the direction of the thing that frightens you most for the sake of something more free and bright
Remember you’re a descendent of exploding stars
Chief Executive Officer of Starlight Innncorrrrporrrated
Meaning you orate from your body and you tell us what you Know
