Analysis of GLOBAL MAXIMUM

paradox121 1995 (nowhere)



We are a blind agent
We bound up the hills with impatiens
Are those distant hills in sight?
Will we ever see the light?
Have reached our own peak
Are we swallowed by the seas
Having not reached peak efficiency

Are those ancient beetles and trees
Struggling on the vertex above us a hundred degrees

It is something i can not see
It scares me.
