on a scrap of paper beneath Peter
Thiels name beneath 1920 – Womans right to vote
their franchise
beneath Space or Seasteading he wrote and circled with an
orange highlight pen
and for generations yet
to come/who arent coming/who cant come
it seemed dire
turning the paper over running
his fingertips over the backs of his deliberate words he could feel the individual
letters as if he were reading braille
seemed
dire
he wondered what he was thinking
when he wrote it
usually he could swing back on his
notations and invoke recreate his intention or jest
typically it worked to his
advantage
anxiously he looked for a datehe
usually dated everything he looked for
anything that might hint at its context
he saw Friday
Dec
16
saw freesia was circled round and
around and around in red ink 41.04 above
it was circled only once
Nusha 784-0415 no area code
they made sense
his notations werent made last
year
they were made in 16
he was a long time from then
still
usually
he could grasp feathers or hair trailing the fleeing beast
and for generations yet to
come/who arent coming/who cant come
it ought toreally ought to shake
up his brainpan
rather it was more like simply
holding onto a quote its
dysphoria its lethalness
he shook his head
the scrap of paper blurred and
instead he saw what looked like vital signs monitored on a black screen scrolling vacillating red lines and
blips
that at oncesuddenly
go flat
dead lines
