when a cheap electronic gismo like my shock proof water proof pentax  dies it doesnt simply die it dies and comes back and dies again in different ways and sometimes it just acts like it's dying to fuck with you and it gives you a completely normal banal image that soothes you into the notion that life goes on as it is wont to do and then it does some wacky shit and dies again like this:

is it dead? or is in a bardo between life and death. is it like a body when the senses begin shutting to the world, while it's doors and windows still gasp a little air and admit a little light?
