Slowly Freeze [rev] Poem by Margaret Alice Second

Slowly Freeze [Rev]
I feel a magnificent emptiness within, a rational calm
resigned to a lack of passion & perfectly bureaucrat
in terms of objective realisation results of my activity
mean nothing and it doesn't matter what's going on
in my head - the only thing is to remain

Calm and focused on finding parallels between two
texts, soft as snow against my skin, no challenges -
nothing texts offer merits emotional investment, it's
a quiet way of life holding no surprises or delights,
and thus no deceptions or disappointments - & as

Long as I live blandly as a vegetable & my emotions
report all's quiet in generous meaningless, snow will
keep falling, freeze me slowly into sleep without pain
