Nobody is Sane

A warped 
zone
twisted &
unworthy of 
  grasping--
impossible to
  escape.

No reward
No love
No answers.

Frantic fingers
 scrape at the escape hatch
yearning to push the
EJECT button
  (clinging to hope
for transmigration).

A glimpse into
  dying
a flood of
 deadly lies.

No winners 
 here 
or there--
 only
degenerating brains
 in a neo-Roman Empire 
where any-THING goes
& NO-body knows
   anything.

The
grisly grass
crawls out of
the
 Book of the Dumb
as
sighs of
  solipsism
collide with
  sneers of
narcissism
(& dirty rain
vilifies the 
living dead).

The demigods
   ejaculate 
malevolent magma:
   carving a brutal &
obvious fact
into timeless slime…
nobody
 nobody
   NOBODY
   
is 

sane
