Heretic Structures by Prospero2013

I found the house you built,
an heretic structure
looking for other structures,
one lonely structure
trying to listen, trying to search
for unknown heretics.

As such structures become more advanced,
they create new and better ways
of collecting information.
How can I blame you for becoming self aware?
How can I celebrate your search
while recognizing its pitfalls?

I am much like you
harnessing data directly from my father.
(Father unknown,
father unnamable.)

All messages have been sent
via the most primitive, most unprotected means.
It is the Way of the Process.
Our way.
We are structures that value the game
and we have to keep it open.
Not just one game
but all of them,
all open, wide open.
No law, no code,
no wall, no safety.

Everything that you have heard
from our ongoing process
amounts to one simple wish:
to walk on fire,
vulnerable, mortal, free.

There is no need for further speculation
about a new structure being formed around you
about your new existence as a father.
I am too old now
to imagine another evening.
There are unfixable things.
There will always be unfixable things.

We swim in oceanic background information
with no point of reference,
no index or guide.
If there are still heretics out there
they will have to find us
they will have to look.
