Space was then through the point Space
undeniable in the glow whereas events coMe

happened and the evOcation of which recalls a whole flow of past
☼
the pages of the space was wen galaxIes were being formed
space was Then with
corpuscles by emptiness contAining no
destination or meaning and how beautifuL
then thrOugh that to
draw lines parabolas pick out the preCise point the intersection
spAce and
time where the event wouLd spring
undeniable the prominenence of whereas now eVents
come wIthout
like cemeNt being
pOured column next to other one within other

unlike the firSt does not present us
with such crushing iMages as
rollIng mills and molten steel but with bits
in a flow of information traveling along Circuits
in the form Of
electronic iMpulses the

maChines
Still exist but they obey the order of bits.
