There Are No Words to Describe the Future

If you want to predict the future
determine what is most taken for granted now
and imagine a world without it
 
I predict a future
where words will be replaced
by the signals transmitted
from one brain mesh to another
in a grammar without a subject
 
The last words will be theirs:
All those caged by the self
will now be liberated
by annulling self-expression
