Set of data that describes
and gives meaning to other
data.
We were born to a world in
which the presumptions of
this neologism would have
been deemed untrustworthy,
on their face. There is no
algorithm capable of that
penetration.
A hypothesis, you say. So
was the soccer moms' argu-
ment for barring time.
Power must always dread,
one day its claimants
will, themselves, repudi-
ate it: mature, reclaim
risk. Apostasy, peres-
troika, dreaming aloud,
the testimony of shells,
the cry of shore birds,
always come at low tide.
But they're there.
