Light My Cigarette While I Cut My Wrists

absolutely maybe if wings flew
 without a bird's body and the air
lifted ground as outer space
filled inner spirits

  then all things might be 
equal and if so then what?

Zero.

Which is arguably a 'something'
less than 1 but greater than 
less than zero.

Words.

The devil's insidious plot to
madden the human mind with 
intangible monsters that chip
 away at the glass floor we
all ignore and rarely look
down upon
   we might see the super-
structure of reality then.

What then?

  HORROR.
