Someday we won’t need to touch Anything, not even the floor Someday we won’t need to touch Anything or anyone anymore We’ll just float around inner spaces Well-adapted to indefinite stasis And if we ever need to touch We won’t even need to wash our hands We’ll extend a friendly tendril Retractable touch-tentacle Self-sanitizing, optimized The handshake has been revised Someday we won’t need to touch Anything, not even the floor Someday we won’t need to touch Anything or anyone anymore

NoClipping 04:00
I'm putting my limbs in the recycling bin My head in the lost and found Became a torso donor so I could find a new owner Torso transplants are the hot thing now What does that leave me left with? Nothing but the best bit Intangibly floating free No limits, no clipping Slide through the wall Now all walls are transparent Float in the void Outside the aquarium Go on, go on, Roll on through Enter any window-wall you choose No clipping No clipping No clipping
3.
An underdeveloped imagination Catalyzed by the pressure of the bleakening worldwindow Into riotous, resplendent growth Is the earthfount from which sprung The breathtaking contents Of each overflowing terrarium
4.
Between what we have built And what has grown in the wild Lies the Eden of garden Between what we have made And what lies untouched There’s a park and an arboretum To see and really see the garden To smell and really smell the garden To know and really know the garden To feel and really feel the garden To be in a garden and garden Between what we have built And what has grown in the wild There’s a park and an arboretum Between what we have made And what lies untouched Lies the Eden of garden

What's that I smell As I breath through my mask? Is it those flowers? Is it that trash? Is what I smell a scent betwixt? The two entwined 2020 Spring mix What's that I see As I strum in the yard? Baby lanternflies On my guitar Crush a nymph a minute Each one is replaced by two Maybe the invasion Could have been stopped In the 10s The 10s are through
