False Vacuum

My microcosmos is really a false vacuum. 
It may eventually collapse. 
I read an article floating in the wind. 
I become an unwritten novel.

I watch the ants carry the breadcrumbs 
 into the dismal soil leading into another world. 
I look outside seeing pockets of pain. 
I yearn to jettison out of my world on a jet. 

A long voyage around the liquid abyss
 where silent screams emanate. 
The light dims outside.
I await deliverance from Epic Error.

All may eventually collapse into scurrilous beliefs 
 created by scoundrels.
Am I greater than the sum of my fragments? 
I'm too exhausted to answer this. 

Persistence is futile in the Kingdom of Pain.
