On March the third of two-thousand and eighteen,

 ‘Twas Sunday when all the guests had fled,
From either...

In my chambers where phantasmagoria undulate
    not as vigilant watchers but as mnemonic parasites
    I ruminate—

it seems to only leave.

The furry ones, all
caught in hypnotic disbelief:
hardening ground's

Each beast, shaking
like a leaf
(though, truth be told

Why do they feel the need for all this fighting,
Over pigment precious postcodes and petty people lying, 
Now there up in the sky flying.

Peer assured status, focus of my fascination
High fiving idol guffawed and elbowed adjacent
Mates in droves, admirers in rows, dreamy Damon

Exchanged smiles and smirks
Yeah always between you and I
With the constant tugs and jerks 
Our emotions, they now run high

A constant murmur and a loud syh
When the supernovas and...
