Essence

When the
body
crumbles,
where
does the
essence
go?
Does it
simply
dissipate,
disappear
into the
ether?
Ethereal
in nature,
never to
return?
Does it
move
to a different
realm,
existing
in another
form?
Does it
derezz back
to the
program
whence
it came?
Does it
go to
a place
beyond
our scope,
unknowable
to us?
Watch
closely next
time and
see if
you
can tell.

That is a big enquiry to make. If we should happen to notice when our time comes, how might we tell of it? Shudder the nearby tree, perhaps?

Watch out for the coconuts. Thank you for reading.
