The act of fading from existence
Plays out in stages
Happening around the thing
-
Washing out its vibrancy
Depreciating its value
Cremating it from the current zeitgeist
-
Developing something sleeker and
More modern
In its stead
-
For any and all things
Inanimate or otherwise
The only requirement for aging out is to
Be
Until you transition to
Having been
-
Objectively simple
-
But
-
To be is to feel
-
So the question is
-
What the weight of aging out
What is the consistency of extinguishment
-
An ebb and flow of feathers and grand pianos
A fluctuation between cashmere and barbed wire
-
The exhilaration of discovery
Woven into
The despair of loss
-
Don't unravel it
In your last moment
Recall the tapestry
