Simulation (Through the Looking Glass)

Simulation (Through the Looking Glass)

“Observe this fagged-out world,

this patch of chemical scum,

where things – people, cats, tables,

nouns, quarks – are in frozen flight

from something we call ti esti.

A laser of light on a lens or a

little globe of acid in the petri dish

should suffice – then we can write

our final report. Lots of data

but I don’t expect to be enlightened.”
