Enthalpy
The heat is rising
Faster than you may think
You miscalculated
Everyone knew it
The world won’t stop without you

What’s a rat race without the cheese
A sonnet without rhyme
A reason without justification
Tenderness without understanding

The world hasn't
Won't
and will never stop with you

Get over yourself

A strand of chaos
Related genetically
to descendants and ancestors
Pastoral retreats you run to
are all too familiar
a myopic myoma
the sickness of nostalgia
The world hasn't
Won't
and won't ever stop without you

So get over yourself.
