When all had been suspended, stuck in a rut, a limbo where nothing moves. An acceleration towards nowhere, a futile attempt to remember a phantasmagoria from last night deep sleep. You take the leap but but suddenly found yourself falling and falling into an abyss with no ground. Yes, This is the new low, but we’ll keep sinking. You’re free falling. You are in transit, forever.
