only a sudden shift
only a break in time

(a certain sense
of a certain................... necessity)

perhaps reacting to
what is it we do................................. deny

WHY ARE WE PRETENDING THAT WE DO NOT KNOW
WHAT SO OBVIOUSLY
IS ALL AROUND?

a chilling of the air
the sense of  paralysis
an all consuming sense of fear
a total lovelessness


WHY ARE WE PRETENDING THAT WE DO NOT KNOW
WHAT SO OBVIOUSLY
IS ALL AROUND?

hiding,
in so deep
within the utter meaninglessness
of a life fit
for only slaves

WHY ARE WE PRETENDING THAT WE DO NOT KNOW
WHAT SO OBVIOUSLY
IS ALL AROUND?
