///begin quick minute

in a quick minute
i’m finna go
pick up this game
from this pic ^
(this new PS4
action RPG
called Nioh)

why?

cuz it’s a
“soulslike” –
it’s like Dark Souls:
my personal
all-time fave series

in other words:
i’m finna get it cuz
i already like it cuz
it’s like something
i already like

like, do you do that too?
like things that are
like other things that you
like?

not always, of course,
but in general?

of course you do

but why?

cuz
ppl prefer patterns,
live and die by them,
love them,
crave them,
create them when absent;
cuz
we’re in a world
where patterns happen
and mean things,
and we can see them
and understand them
and act accordingly:
as pattern seers,
pattern readers,
pattern lovers

seriously,
stop and summon
your mind to
dwell a spell
on how patterns
dominate,
dictate,
infuse your life with
meaning

(

….. (day/night = pattern)
(the season this is) ……
*pattern*
sounds that correspond
to words that – .
correspond
to thoughts that
. . – co
rrespond
to a person’s
essential intentions
(pattern) — ………..
black screen, white screen,
so you can see what the
phonemes mean screen
*(pattern)*

)

seriously,
stop a second
and ask yourself
why once more:
why this
worldwide
domination of
patterns in
endless array?

truly!
why!?
if
(as some say)
the wide world be
“random,”
“sprung from ‘chance,'”
“meaning free”

consider how
we’d even seek,
find,
create, crave
patterns in
such a world?

ask how we
could even ask
such a question
in such a world?

then,
seriously,
stop and smile . .
– …
.. – 🙂   — ;
revel in realizing that,
at least,
“random,”
“sprung from ‘chance,'”
“meaning free,”
can’t possibly
adhere,
can’t possibly
correspond,
can’t possibly
fit the pattern of
this wide world,
such as it is,
where we
mostly uniformly,
in general,
like things that are
like other things that we
like
