A VISION
“What then is life?” I cried—
—P. B. Shelley
The Triumph of Life (broken off final line)
A cross. A mirror. Not much else—silver gray
light. Half a face—mine, stranded under bulbs
too bright for this room. The cross is a threat,
a clue. Flashing. It won’t be solved
by eyes that will be closed after the play.

In the artist’s words:
According to the Many-Worlds Interpretation of Quantum Physics, the version of Alex Duensing that you meet may have successfully utilized a combination of politics, theater, and poetry to create anti-time, bodily free-energy, and a Gordian Knot-Type solution to all Zen koans. You may also encounter him as pure money or as a recent thought.
