Annihil, Nuclear Bomb

each one with their death because nothing tells me about you the voice that inflects or tells me about you the look you have and its meaning if we only know how to avoid the abysses and deviate through falsely safe routes as we travel like fast missiles in the sky carrying deadly loads pretending to be eternal without thinking about the cruelty of time and how much we disfigure reality with dreams that seem sugary but that are nothing more than a poison nuclear bomb ready to annihilate us forever.

It seems to me that "...how much we disfigure reality with dreams," is the theme and major lesson of this fine poem, Marco. Certainly the climax. I've read it four times now, and I keep finding nuances. The word "sugary" is an intriguing adjective...[the aforementioned] "dreams that seem sugary..."

I liked the shape of the bomb, I rarely use this tool. this poem was a single sentence with no punctuation and it worked well: it was a solid brick of words that sounded like a punch in the face... I fractioned the sentences and smoothed the text with the format but kept the inherent aggression with an A-bomb shape.
