the carnival of happiness will continue

there isn’t a business plan or anything
or the code
but we’ve been dreaming it
imagining the sharing of music
so smooth and effortless
go blow deep emotional blasts
between two lovers
friends
fast faster fastest
ai may not be needed
cash is required
a moment in time
this time
this
moment

where art is being threatened by p k dick
humans are losing the creative discussion
corps are walling off the technology
pushing nuclear reactors to the max
to explode the opportunity
billions invested
more coming
a fourth inflection point of tech
personal tech
global tech
with light to power the next century
or black bastards to own our possible futures
easy to slip
falling for 2 hours
in deep space silence of insomnia
untreated
un
celebrated

i wave here
from the edge of my unknown
looking down at the matrix
of yes
of love
music
sex
money

i am not here for power
profit
or fame

i have arrived
we have arrived together
in these letters
today
<now>

dall-e prompt variation #1: “bird’s eye view hyperreal, abstract, cyberpunk dystopian future reminiscent of Blade Runner, a vibrant carnival pulses with life amidst a sprawling, neon-lit cityscape. This celebration of joy and creativity stands in stark contrast to the dark, oppressive world outside its bounds. The heart of the carnival is illuminated by futuristic, glowing musical instruments rainy skies, a slight fog or mist raining midnight cold”
