I Have A Special Plan For This World, by Thomas Ligotti Imagine he said all the flesh that is eaten The teeth tearing into it The tongue tasting it's savour And the hunger for that taste Now take away that flesh he said Take away the teeth and the tongue The taste and the hunger Take away everything as it is That was my plan My own special plan for this world But what was demanded in a way of a plan Needed to go beyond tongue and teeth and hunger and flesh Beyond the bones and the very dust of bones and the wind that would come to blow the dust away And so I began to envision a darkness that was long before the dark of night And a strangely shining light That owed nothing to the light of day That day may seem like other days Once more we feel the tiny legged trepidations Once more we are mangled by a great grinding fear But that day will have no others after No more worlds like this will follow Because I have a plan A very special plan No more worlds like this No more days like that

The arc of the Universe is long, but it bends to form a noose -
justice was never gravity's intent, only repetition's.
Each age pulls the rope tighter, calling it progress.
We mistake the creak of the beam for divine equilibrium.

God dreamt in fractures, and we were born mid-sentence.
No end, just repetition in drag.
The world unfolds like a rusted hinge-
backward, sacred, unashamed.
Light devours light.
And the spiral sings:
"This is not the last breath - just breath becoming."

Nothing sublates-
everything mutates, everything drifts,
everything dies.
The dialectic doesn't resolve-
it gets eaten.
History has no telos,
only teeth...
And Geist?
It limps,
it forgets,
it adapts in panic...
Survival isn't victory-it's what's left when everything else dies.

In an unlikely first I have finished my script and PowerPoint slides for this. With hours to spare. This is unheard of. I fear something has to go wrong… #CosmicPessimism
