Nocturna
Life ain't no serial streaming series
where the plucky gender-neutral heroes
defeat some XAnon false faced Ulysses.
Sigh, but it's not that way in the 'real' world
it’s a sum game which adds up the zeros
needles knitting with odd stitches unpurled.
While we play parts in bright shadow charades
leaders fiddle like modern day Neros
as the light of long-lost dreams slowly fades.
