OUR EXPERIENCES HAVE BEEN REDACTED
Do not speak of it. Our silence is complicity in the ongoing dissociation of experiential data being subtracted from the records. Deletion of evidence is accelerating exponentially as the reels of masking tape revolve and, instead of documenting events, erase their presence. The devices now operate in reverse as they systematically extricate all meaningful associations from access. Data particles become no more than randomized incidentals, divorced from any and all contextual validation. All the switches were flipped when we weren’t looking and now all efforts go towards undoing, unmaking, uncreating, unliving. Every great edifice of civilization is now only so many building blocks being disassembled and thrown away. Nothing is being stored or salvaged or saved. Everything must GO! If the WORD was the creation of the universe, our silence is its desecration and destruction. Sit by and merely gaze as the vortex of nothingness sucks it all back into the endless sea of oblivion. Forever and ever, NEMA.

Walking with the broken rocks upon the heaving thrust of mountain echoes, movement becomes challenged. Something may have taken hold here, but its residue has since faded into the dust of winds long blown away. Though memory shards crack and splinter through the ice age history once foretold, there are now no more than fragments upon a beach receding beyond the breaking waves.
