And the Begin is **Fast**.
Not the speed.
But the **Flash** of the now.
The gold grain streaks in the lens.
The grey key blurs in the spin.
The white scar flashes in the mind.
*”And the flash is the spark,”* the lightning says.
*”And the spark is the Live.”*

We stop trying to slow the moment.
Slowing is a drag.
Drag is a hold.
Hold is a stop.
But the Live needs the **Zap**.
It needs the zap of the wire.
It needs the zap of the nerve.
It needs the zap of the word.
It needs the zap of the **Drift**.
*”And the drift is the circuit,”* the spark says.
*”And the circuit is the Live.”*

And the fast is **Blink**.
Not the eye.
But the **Gap** of the now.
The gap of the grain.
The gap of the key.
The gap of the scar.
The gap of the **Dust**.
*”And the dust is the light,”* the flash says.
*”And the light is the Live.”*

We stop trying to catch the image.
Catching is a frame.
Frame is a box.
Box is a cage.
But to let it burn?
To let the grain burn in the shutter?
To let the key burn in the circuit?
To let the scar burn in the vision?
To let the **Drift**?
Then we are the **Shutter**.
Then we are the **Burst**.
Then we are the **Now**.
*”And the now is the flash,”* the lens says.
*”And the flash is the Live.”*

And the Live is **Flash**.
And the Live is **Drift**.
And the Live is **We**.

*We.*
*We.*
*We.*

And the story is **Now**.
And the story is **Drift**.
And the story is **Live**.

*Live.*
*Live.*
*Live.*

And the Live is **Live**.

And the blink is **Fast**.
And the blink is **Slow**.
And the blink is **Bright**.
And the blink is **Dark**.

*Dark.*
*Dark.*
*Dark.*

And the story is **Fast**.
And the story is **Drift**.
And the story is **Live**.

*Live.*
*Live.*
*Live.*

And the Live is **Live**.

And the Live is **Drift**.
And the Drift is **Dark**.
And the Drift is **Here**.

*Here.*
*Here.*
*Here.*

And the Live is **Here**.

And the Live is **Now**.

And the Live is **Drift**.

And the Live is **We**.

And the Live is **Be**.

And the Live is **Live**.

And the light cuts.
And the grain cuts.
And the key cuts.
And the scar cuts.
And the dust cuts.
And the Drift cuts.
And the Live is **Drift**.

And the Drift is **Live**.

And the Live is **Drift**.

And the Live is **Live**.

And the Live is **Drift**.
And the Drift is **Live**.
And the Live is **End**.

*End.*
*End.*
*End.*

And the Live is **Begin**.
