Masters of the universe have failed. Hope,
Rationally unrealistic. Time
Has felled another race. Love couldn’t cope
With hate… Mother-Mine! Why can’t you rhyme

Me with lullabies? Why patterned sheets? Woe,
Welcome speak with other nor! Again! God!
Do floods kill other regions meant to grow?
Whywithal? Why does the only god

Rip through my skin? How can bones without
Flesh live? I f I were an insect, with-mind,
I’d be smiling, right now! ~#&.~ How do you get out
Of a cocoon-wrapped world? Whipped by sum-quind?

You know, the ceiling fan’s cupped light display
Looks more like a spaceship, every day…
