The Almost Empty Rooms in Really, Really, Really, Really Weird Stories
Manipulate and rearrange the sequences I redirect chains of events, cause and effect A minor shift proliferates non-linear Across the gaps of probability
The flapping wings of butterflies Shall cause a storm of suffering A paradox of measurement My interference changed the end Complex networks surrounding me Caught in endless recursiveness
Every attempt to avert the end Doomed 'cause it precedes the fact Every attempt to avert the end Triggers it
Devolution lifting us up Empty skins are sailing the clouds Reconstruction devoid of cause Abstract meanings beyond our grasp
Reverse-engineered apocalypse. The butterfly effect retraced. The end as the mere sum of its parts. Remove one variable from the equation and it is resolved. Identify the local sources of global disaster. Avert Armageddon by altering the course of one banal event, one insignificant death, one self-indulgent suicide. Disrupt the chain reaction, tame the event-animal. But be aware that the tamer, too, is an integral part of the show. Your action is the very cause for the effect you attempt to prevent. Swallowed by this paradox you at last give in to the ecstasy of your own obliteration.
