Suspension over the continuum.

When the body is pinned, the mind's letters emerge.

Deprived of choice, one can retain dignity.

The universe seems to hang motionless, its laws made clear.

Every hanged-man eternity will eventually decompose, eroded by the universal ocean,

but the laws we grasp in desperate times are the result

of having coaxed the deep nature of things up to our awareness:

for a moment time stops, and we see all.

Forget not; change will resume.
