EVERY INFORMATION IS OBSOLETE ... In any form ?? ?
Is information redundant by its very character ?
What about the experience ???????

Stop talking –
say unspeakable
– in no words
describable ...

a song:
wordless _

holding dying tree
a hand in branch
branch in hand ...
two entities _ in synchrony : . . .
aaa! tree-huggers _ a fleeting judgements ...
sounds of hope _
there is still life in there !

water hailing - wailing frozen drops drumming on leaves and roofs ...

I do not mean “it” “that way” : though ...
a meaning(s) floating behind each word (*) ...
talking talking echoes
of memories
distorted by each-time re-play
button pressed ...

(* thoughts, billions of little lights, flickercrackle-like sparkles)

_ afterthoughts:
radio of next generations:
those learning to live and play
magical creatures of now: children of us ...
our children
world shaping ...
