DAMIAN GARSIDE

WITHOUT UPHOLSTERY

how many

million, billion

years

did it take

the Universe to

get upholstery?


I hear there are ancient ones

who may be running us

as their thought experiment


that this

excellent Cosmos with all

its mod-cons

might be little more

than the

inside of a test-tube


to see

if we can out-think the

thought of

the experiment itself
