Waiting with answers
to questions unasked,
a vacuum state appears
...
Religion becoming meaningless
when propriety goes away
Nothing to sit atop the lies
nothing to lead astray
...
What is the age of reality
how many birthdays is that
Peaked hats and streamers wrapping the truth
...
Memory has substance
for those athirst
a book never finished
whose pages reverse
...
Numbers have a lasting smell
while figures have a taste
Shapes can make an ancient sound
whose feelings stay untraced
...
What are we but relics
of time gone by
Where painful encounters
...
If some is good
more is better
Less is threatened
all enslaved
...
When the assassins hunt the assassins
—all hell is enshrined
(Rewatching Apocalypse Now: January,2023)
