a deep yellow is arching across
the cosmos
gods outside of time
exist in individual infinities
creating countryclub chapels

chosen people, entranced by purportedly
impermeable destinies, are freely choosing
everywhere to catch and spread feverdreams

the world community has compassion; it
wants everyone else to catch what it has
wants to keep what is rightfully its own

organs are fighting underneath taut yellow skin
sacrosanctity is stretched across the cosmos
and a faint pulse can be felt everywhere

it may sometimes happen that
jaundice shows
long before a liver fails
long before a sickness takes hold
long before anyone exists
