A Masked Requiem for a Virulent Era

A cold berating 
light-erasing rope
survives
relentless
entropy
(another year ends
 another variant contends)

Desolate debris in 
empty
erroneous caves
swallow 
blank pages
    submerged in 
mind-warping seas
where flying memes
  wait for normalcy
where words freeze
    & thoughts
    become sadistic
(a poisoned (out of mind) mind
crawls on the radar)

Trapped
in a gray tomb:
the inert inerrants
flounder in 
a mephistic stench
  expecting no mercy from
  theocreptilian overlords
not really 
here/there/or somewhere
(humanoid insects
loiter in scarred streets
awaiting
a comedic deluge)

A symphony composed
by the Great Alpha Dog:
  a transfixed audience
  staring at a monotonous Monolith
  in a cold nocturnal
  past/present/future wherein
  3 homicidal HALs dwell
  along with
  one serene Star-Child
  singing:
daisy dazy dada adad
(in a masked requiem)

Earth: 
a disastrous
dithering hologram
discombobulated by
collapsed singularities
  losing time
  waiting for deliverance
    from devolution
  waiting for Sir Godot
  as vituperative viruses
  inherit the wind

This will end in the end:
a cosmic tragic dream
   of infinite periods pointing to
   pugilistic demigods swimming
   in an illuminated lake of illuminati
   near the careless trees in the breeze
populated by a Counterclockwise Orange 
   led by the 
Four Jackasses
of the apocalyptic
Anticlimax
