inner dialogue

[The_system_screams]

I love it. From the first to the - almost - last, Love it. I love the scientific aspect of it mixed with awe and admiration. I love that it tries to convey exactly what it can't - like the line "the fact that we exist is a chance never before seen" is a wonderful mix of denial, affirmation, sheer exhilaration, wonder. And adding the explicit in the near end - fucking gorgeous. It makes it oh so human.

And then my only gripe: "take things as they are not as they appear/ and don't give yourself up/ to the attractive nature of the simple problem-solver" This sounds more like the idea you had for the poem. Like what you knew what you were writing about. An inspiration. But telling us is like inviting us backstage and your production is so beautiful - I don't really need to see the scaffolding. I rather just look at the pretty picture.

Thanks, this was a treat!
