THE LOOM

Humans dwell encapsulated 

within cellular insulations. 

Cilia measure vibrations inside 

vessels which circulate blood 
throughout central nervous systems. 

Optic fibers translate 

data reflected through eyes into  

brains which process these signals into 

relatively three-dimensional images. 

This occurs on a planet revolving 

about a sun hosting this activity 

en masse by a process which involves 

the necessary transorbital positioning of 

repeatedly placing these beings in between 

their planet's and its star's geomagnetic cores. 

When they are in between these 

magnets (a position  labelled "day") 

there manifests a sufficient amount 

of energy by which they may achieve 

their daily tasks toward survival

and the continuation of their race. 

While  outside these magnets 

(the intermediary position known as 

"night") the majority  manage 

to rest and recharge their batteries.

If information overload has ever occurred 

in the history of this sentient species, 

it may best be personified by what occurs 

online all over their world wide web today: 

The disparity of data and how it 

relates directly and indirectly to 

humanity eventually collects 

into extreme disproportion. 

These incoming waves of daily 

tidings serve as fast-moving 

ticker-tapes of windows 

through which individuals 

may glimpse single frames 

of their living skin.

Scales of the ourobouros 

they are each in the process 

of weaving together on their 

planet looming in outer space.
