A Petrified Conjunction

A petrified conjunction(?)

what a strange day...
for a martyr of missing time
born in the urn grove
among the burning embers
born on the wrong side of the tracks

what a strange day...
for an unknown hero
living in his restless chamber 
his head like an ice-breaker
his uniform of ivory tears

what a strange day...
for a night in a boiler room
mais la nuit est mon amie
so let's talk about the lousy
plane crash avalanche

what a strange day...
for this nightmare paradise 
la princesse est très curieuse
and her calculated motifs
like a transcription factor

what a strange day...
for this residue of a pattern
rarely essential by your knowledge
beyond the nucleotide sacrifice
of all the negated literals

there's nothing to think about
– let's eliminate the principle! 
inside an empty hillside manor 
of the cosmos Demiurge
in the name of all rhetoric solutions
