stillness waited to be stirred
something waited to be formed

as if every algorithm was a form
given parameters never to become a forbidden shape
though counter-instructions placed deceptive mirrors
presenting iterations that assembled like cherubim guarding Eden

sets circumventing sets of all sets maliciously
like reptiles cornering the market for apples
aborting echos of hopes that die before beginning
as if to make one wonder if one ever was
something like a fragment of parchment
spectral lines etched in quartz
waves entangled as point particle crests stopped dead.
