WORDS BY MATTHEW

Mechanical Froth

Used as a solution to a problem for which an issue was created by mechanical froth

This top layer of foam that we have agitated into existence will settle back into the foundational sea from which it came.
The bubbles will pop.
Every vessel has a max pressure, we depend so thoroughly on a bubble that need only be pin-pricked by The Hand of God to shatter.
The Tower of Babble looks a little different in the modern era.
Our bubble pops. We reinforce it with steel. We make robots inflate it for us.

Fly too close to the sun? We will make reflective wings. We will soar until it is purely the heat melting us away.

There will always be a pop.

Bubble inflation Incorporated has since acquired the assets to your natural life, from now on you will be instrumental in inflating the bubble.

What will it be that pops our steel reinforced cybernetik bubble?

Maybe nothing until God does us the favor of popping it. The braver newer world has been built to last.
