that which expansion decides
existence abides
spawns evolution
universal solution
until conclusion
all lost in own space
seeking to fill everyplace

Futuristic intents allure
Remote eternal sanguinity
Time track obscure.

Daily Ritual Drinks Drink
in the morning
I drink a cup
of snarling hot coffee
while watching the news.

Hot and cold, not so fun
