"What is pain?"
He chuckled. "Sounds like a trick question."
She shook her head. "Worst than that, it forces you to acknowledge something."
"I have no aches. Nothing to think about."
She smiled. "Too much?"
He drank his coffee. "I'm recovering."

He tried to divine the purpose of people without heads. Filing into book stores, when they cannot read. Fingering vintage vinyl, when they cannot listen. Running their hands along wooden statues, unable to express their grief. Not #ghosts, just people who have lost touch with life.

Gathered in #shadow darkly, she was beautiful in her best moments, fantastic in her worst.
A lovely display of strut and confidence, she let the onlookers know how the sun reflected off her color.
The skin, a composition of fate and love, she never hid behind the world's assumptions.

I always thought that I was real, just badly broken. All that lost time, like a poorly taped together reel of film. I never sleep, even if I'm just a hand or a soft shape on a pillow. But the sun taught me that this life isn't for me. I'm just a dark echo. A #shadow.

Deep within the blink of your eye
lies #soothe & cosy
A universe of secrets it holds
closely
In its twinkle a river of dreams
arise
Where whispers of love
& silent understanding harmonise
Bathing in its tranquil sighs
Lost in the magic
where time slowly flicker flies
Deep within the blink of your eye
lies #soothe & cosy
A universe of secrets it holds
closely
In its twinkle a river of dreams
arise
Where whispers of love
& silent understanding harmonise
Bathing in its tranquil sighs
Lost in the magic
where time slowly flicker flies

I keep reading posts about people who wrote applications entirely with "zero coding." They say they don't read the code and instead refine the application using increasingly precise prompts. I have some questions:
* Is the application nontrivial?

* Is the application nontrivial?
