Homage to Icarus

[I’ll prob­a­bly end up deliv­er­ing this onstage either tomor­row or next week.]
It’s 9:28 PM
Commuter train of the damned
Slaving away for machines
Which do our think­ing for us
Which is what this is all about…
Evolution…
It’s 9:32 PM
Commuter train of the damned
Soon to be board­ing
A motly crew of the dam­aged
Is crowd­ing me in the wait­ing room
What if I stay perfectly […]

Nothing is unbreak­able
No sys­tem is per­fect
There is always another way
Given proper inquiry, the way can be found
The future lies in the pos­si­bil­ity
Where any­thing is pos­si­ble
This is what we for­got on 9/11.
