So its gone

Yes sir  The monks finished this morning

I didnt get to see it

Im sure they took a photograph

Id like a copy

Immediately sir

Take a picture she sneered itll last longer

Yah he retorted but it aint the real deal

she was full of shit all up in herself  

he was looking in her direction but he hadnt focussed until just as the drivel slipped from her mouth

she wasnt all that

though she was unusual looking

Take a picture

photographs inspire and instill artificial memories

it aint the same as living breathing

very Total Recall  We Can Remember It for You Wholesale

but maybe Dick was hinting at something perverse about us

our willingness to accept facsimile to reality

our willingness to accept something that was profoundly less

and the less and less and lesser were willing to accept

were not truly due what is real

what is true

he wasnt willing to accept post-fact post-truth

he wasnt willing to accept Content is dead

were Content

were not Less

were not expendable

were not negotiable

he didnt have a price
