[25 October 2026]
-----------------------

sitting at a white desk
in an empty office
listening to music made by a machine
maybe assembled by a human
while communicating with people around the world
who use the help of machines to communicate in my language.
i look out the window.
Future is usually something that will eventually exist?
It is, now.
I am
doing nothing remarkable?
The future is
this ordinary Monday afternoon.
Uncertain what is real,
and what isn't.
does it matter?
i feel
the strangeness of the world that is happening.
