Locally observed FTL:
information leaping between synapses
like ingenious fire:
lightning captured in a jar of bone.
Promises are bestowed on this
canopic shell housing
the one organ the ancients
simply threw away.
Mens sana in corpore sano.
Lift with the mind and the muscle,
flexing youth--
tempting fate.
O mens!
O corpore!
The palace of the mind is a house of cards
atop a badly stacked pile
of chips, and every move
is a gamble
The problem of physics defies
debugging, and you can't
fix it with a code
any more than you
can fix mortality
with a gun.
