Tonsil choked the passage.
Enamel bowed to decay.
I slept through the alarm.
The canary flew away.

"The leaky dam looks fine from here.
Just— stand right there.
Can you believe, there've been thirty accidents
since last September."

"Statistically, for this facility,
that's rather subdued.
Ignore that light. It won't stop blinking,
so we're having it removed."

A hat is made from a heart.
The marrow becomes electricity.
Streaking red blood and bone.
Fortune's tenacity.

"Well, so long.
Arrivederci.
This ending was foretold
—quite early."
