more robust as we shrink
and curl to fit the coffin.
Our afterlife depends upon
what interesting shape
the nexus of our data makes.

I shrink and curl to fit my coffin as I write this.
Ooops, my feet just twisted off the floor.
Fine piece.
Like a little piece of music. I can dig it.
Dossiers? I don't got to show you no stinking dossiers. *
Big yes to the couplet form, Gary. Works so well here.
Favorite lines: "what interesting shape / the nexus of our data makes".

Curious and inventive imagery in this. I love the movement. Your work continues to delight and fascinate, Gary.
Short forms are so hard to control, and on this one, G., YOU'VE MADE A TREMENDOUS one! Nicely done!
Thank you, Steve, Magda, Jake, Sam, Emily, and Darryl. The readings and comments are appreciated.
"the nexus of our data"
Excellent phrase!
