A Very Ordinary Enigma

Dogs growl with their eyes. Kittens, bleat like sleeping lions. Simplicity says nothing, the wise listen. Everything is a conversation, nothing matters. The land is for sale, The dead plant their alien hearts deep, spaceships orbit as empty as long locked museums. The future conspires to be a conspiracy, everyone knows, yet the hurricanes keep coming. Now its winter that is a problem. Now it's summer, millions die complaining. Rats in labs bathe under radioactive lamps. They thrive. It's science, its global idiocy, there is no mercy for the dissenting. it's any day, that ends in a sleepless night of near extinction.
