What's the Point?
immortality
so many pitfalls
in this timeline the people
did not age
had eradicated disease
refrained from producing
more children than were lost to misadventure
they avoided boredom
with an ever shifting panoply of diversions
offloaded memory
to nearly imperishable crystalline storage
found and cured the causes of addiction
and all mental disorders
conquered the dangerous intricacies
of stellar physics
and then were obliterated
in the inevitable heat death
of their universe anyway
