No, Charles, there's nothing poetic in death.

You die. You're dead.

Youre not the wind that blows, you're not the sky that snows.

You're dead. Forever.

@2, even worse than that: in death you never were.

"...A body entering a black hole, particle by particle, becomes a stream of matter..."

Tom Wolfe said it much more deliciously:

Le Corbusier was the sort of relentlessly rational intellectual that only France loves wholeheartedly, the logician who flies higher and higher in ever-decreasing circles until, with one last, utterly inevitable induction, he disappears up his own fundamental aperture and emerges in the fourth dimension as a needle-thin umber bird.

We are all now domesticated animals. The AIA imagines a wolf but can only construct pure-bred forms that are petrochemically soaked shitpiles.

Fuck architecture.

That said, the Mercer Slough Environmental Education Center would be a great location for four-square.
