Poetry

under load

under load, we compress
fewer things
bigger bets
tighter focus
— obsession

weight concentrates error
precision
perfection
vigilance
— continuous

systems fail before people do
anxiety
fixation
forgetfulness
— collapse

design vessles for what matters
diffuse
distribute error
release attention
— let solid become gas

the body knows first
calm
presence
weightlessness
— symptoms of a buoyant life
