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.

Art: AI Epiphany by Alex Duensing
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.
