The palm at the end of the mind, beyond the last thought, rises in the bronze distance. A gold feathered bird sings in the palm, without human meaning, without human feeling, a foreign song. You know then that it is not the reason that makes us happy or unhappy.
The bird sings. Its feathers shine. The palm stands on the edge of space. The wind moves slowly in the branches. The bird's fire-fangled feathers dangle down.

Ozymandias Now

 I met a traveler from an inland state

Who said: Two vast and humming racks of steel

Stand in the cornfield. Near them, on the plain,

Half buried in weed, a broken server face lies,

Its stilled fans, its dulled, unblinking lights,

Tell that its builders knew the hype well

Which run once through these walls, now cold and still,

The hands that fed them and and the minds that made:

And on the switchroom wall these words remain:

"My name is Jensen Huang, CEO of CEOs

Look at my cloud compute, ye Mighty, and despair!" 

Nothing beside remains. Round the decay

Of that great digital ruin, boundless and bare

The autumn fields stretch flat and far away.
