∴ mortal breath escapes—
under stars, we make our plans
as if they might last ∴

∴ autonomy
universe spins strange patterns—
me, lost, in control ∴

∴ altruism’s light
spilled across cracked mirrors
a child’s laughter ∴

∴ missed messages husked
arête lost on mobile alerts
the art of lip bites ∴

∴ come ye, minstrels
in amity, we gather—
tarry revels deep ∴

∴ acumen, they claim
but i’m guessing when to nod—
i’ll just ride the waves ∴

∴ dragon cooking eggs
pan ablaze, toast is charcoal—
tea’s perfect though, you ∴
