The here and now, which for
two-commasi-seconds becomes
the present
or what we understand by it and
then forms reality and is supposed to be real and consists of electricity and of algorythms, which we do not understand or which I cannot understand,
but which knows me in the meantime and consists of
imagined,
invasive pictorial landscapes
or their break-off edges,
which are so sharp that they are supposed to cut in or burn in and will do so into our memories of what just existed but no longer is, yet itself still twists and turns without struggling like the fish that can no longer find
its way into the water.

Das Hier und jetzt, das für zweikommasieben Sekunden zur Gegenwart wird oder zu dem was wir darunter verstehen und dann Realität ist und echt ist und aus Strom und aus Algorythmen besteht, die wir nicht verstehen oder die ich nicht verstehen kann, die aber mich mittlerweile kennen und aus imaginierten, invasiven Bildlandschaften oder deren Abbruchkanten bestehen, welche so scharf sind, dass sie sich einschneiden oder einbren- nen sollen und das tun werden in unsere Erinnerungen an das, was eben noch war und nicht mehr ist, sondern sich noch dreht und wendet ohne zu zappeln wie der Fisch der den Weg ins Wasser nicht mehr findet.
