we are
walking dead
growing warts
dander dreads
missing teeth
zombie heads
we are
so stoned
one disaster
irreversibly prone
all together
mostly deaf
whether indivisible
sunrise surprise
nearly blind
instrumental weather
sunset cries
boastfully dithered
raging ageless
phenom clown
critique disguise
old town
oblique stages
pitiful guise
new city
incidental lines
but once
when we
somehow lived
far beyond
this novel
impossible rave
before this
improbable grave
impassible AI
somehow stole
what was
universal role
creative living
universally driven
somehow this
audiotronic moaning
everything given
droning heads'
unabbreviated AI
everything invasive
irretrievable time
