by Alexander Duncan
roving chariot of despair
master of the air
fearful nightmare
repairing and preparing the marriage of man and earth
soul and dirt, dearth
inert that threatens to smother truth
as we lurch into the future, shot in arm
vampiric virus that loves the old blood best
and then consumes the children in the nest
and then like death multiplies
normalcy recedes
fantasy bleeds seeds of self-destruction
what is next?
