Empty Vessel

poem by: John Prophet
Written on Dec 11, 2024

Empty
vessel.
Human
matrix.
Hardware.
Origin.
Clear of
intent.
Awaiting
download.
Software.
Instructions
for belief,
behavior.
Countless
options.
Download
variations,
possibilities.
Same unit
multiple
iterations,
packages.
Location
dependent.
Playing
hoops
in Peoria.
Rugby
in Aukland.
Soccer in
Milan.
Fundamentalist
in the
Bible Belt.
Hindu in
India.
Buddhist
in China.
Same
hardware.
Different
downloads.
What
do you
believe?
Why
do you
believe it?
Depends.
Reconsider
everything.
Nothing’s
absolute!
