AS THE WORLD TURNS

modernity is like tapdancing on a rubber ball ... you have no firm ground beneath you ... thing is modernity has been tapping on that ball for 2500 years ... even as humanity indulged her ... but with only one foot ... the other foot ... to modernity ... is nothing but a ball and chain to its flight ... Heraclitus taps his toe always round Parmenides ... and Plato is brought to ground by Aristotle ... someone talks about change ... the other mentions eternity ... someone says I've got all these forms you can fill out to stop this insane motion ... someone else answers get real ... modernity isn't so much wrong as it's going round in circles ... not so much flat as losing its dimension ... like an ember dying out ... please she says listen to my song ... and taps a melody to some arcane code
