Filling the void
Of eternal dissolution
Evading the cavity
Of human dislocation

A parody of civilization
In a hand-held box
Glorifying nothing
The emptiness thereof

A synapse shorted
A circuit-breaker broken
A complex evolution
Darwin rebuffed

The feeling of being empty
A faux examination
Of priorities forsaken
A glass that never fills

A new intoxication
Escape to points unknown
External manifestations
Legacies regressed

Impossible to ponder
The brink of new extinction
The void that’s overtaking
The void that now exists
