My Ineffable, Población Flotante


The humid air of life in kindling
Teasing the structure had born a stifle
Lapping the onyx stone
Of a steady pace
And overlooking Bohemian haste
In a nomadic consistency

A floating population hanging dear on the strands of an electronic nervous system… for life, perpetual solitary improvisation… flamenco à la ciudadanía… à la corporación.  The branding of the self with the image of corporate elegance… in the dissemination of directive idea throughout an internalized tightrope web of externalized contingencies…

And the world vibrates in these details… the corporate entity of persona a stark weight in the air… perpetually lagging just behind the present at best and continually evoking a credence in solidified progress… the most dire illusion… progress rather the most ephemeral, nomadic element of dynamic constitution… always moving and just out of sight… continually evading real time like a masterful escape artist.

The progression of the modern nomad dwells in a shifting conceptual landscape in the semblance of a moment.  Straining to close the gaps of the past and consistently working towards an ineffable future, a perpetual horizon… The modern world no longer exists as such… it is incessantly becoming to an image branded in the consolidated moment, losing ground.

Stillness is a bore… ay, but where are we to contemplate, moving forward?
