The Twenty-first century is invisible. We were promised jetpacks but ended up with handlebar moustaches.

The True History of the Distant Universe

Most likely, the whole thing will be over 10^(10^26) years from now. By that time all matter could have collapsed into black holes, depending on which group of particle physicists ends up being right. Not that we’ll really care, 10^(10^26) years is fascinating number on its own, and responsible for my new favorite footnote on Wikipedia:

10^(10^26) is 1 followed by 10^26 (100 septillion) zeroes. Although listed in years for convenience, the numbers beyond this point are so vast that they would be the same in whichever conventional units one could conceivably list them in, be they nanoseconds or star lifespans.

You read that right: 10^(10^26) years is such a stupendously huge amount of time that the difference between a nanosecond and the lifespan of a star becomes a rounding error.

The happiest days of my life
were those when ugliness
found no lit vacancy,
and I spent the night fukt
inside your skinny arms.

DUENDE-TRIPPER

Decapitate the headlights, I did

so our bodies could alone float free
away from the blacked-out city.

My darkness, it expanded

to fill the space provided, like a melody
or a metal rod placed in a loved one.

Some summer ago, the surgeons

they shoved a goodbye into my jaw.
There was confetti in the carpet.

A steak knife in the ceiling. So what.

So long. In between such stations
my life can save no song.
