Lute music

Given opportunity, nothing suits. I'm uncertain how to deploy my time to the highest benefit. This albatross of efficiency. The nightmare from which all of humanity groans and purges and stalks. Dying off to become a blob of nothingness revolving the sun. A burning planet rotating a molten center. A centerless expanse beckons. Apparently, anti-matter and matter just don't get along. They fight it out for dominance. Anti-matter wins every time. I can't help it, sometimes I root for anti-matter. While the old softie in me thinks matter's got a shot. There's something to be said for picking sides in this moments battle for the infinite. If I can flirt with big things, while, in the end, I'm down here, in the mud, thinking about how to move one small body inside the looping grasp of infinite space and time, maybe... Ah, forget it.

Work and dying must be antithetical to each other. The fact that this needs parsing is an abomination. Work and life - how do we bring them into alignment. That is the question.
