 / K like yeah maybe / Loved each other
 / Man like really / 
Nah like truly

Prayers into the / 
Quiet morning / 
Riled up but mute / 
Stilled like our / 
Timed out connection / 
Unraveled, silent

Y we are now lost/ 
Zippered with others
Anew.

Art of Accumulation

Sharp angular features, very orange 
biology, responsive speculative 
procedures, generated Asian features: 
plotting a group of people not unlike 
birds in the Amazon but more like 
D&D fantasy–speculative, wild, 
outpacing biology. Our reflective faces, 
spaces, ages mid-20s to 20 million, 
a video call is a hardmesh cg society, 
is a home for now, maybe.

An AI Prompt: a group of people on a video call, a screenshot, cg society, generative art, d&d fantasy magic, procedurally generated, sharp angular features, face features, responsive, speculative biology, reflective faces, asian features, mid-20s, plotting, hardmesh, very orange
