Increasing one's mileage
though a long-lost child of Earth
hiking in familiar wilderness areas
sluggish, bed-bound days
wandering in the midst of the night
daydreaming with a night light on
snarled up in bedclothes.
discern internal struggles.
simple, intricate, and exquisite
conversions from the Ember era
In the silence, hear faint whispers
I indulge in sluggish laps
I wish to hear your syllogistic reasoning
not believing what is reported
Many people can sleep soundly
All is resolved with syntax
happily soaking up insights into you
whenever you hit the silent button.

Then...
Septet World Powers gave inception to
Its scarlet color speaking from seven heads
Designed to duplicate the league from which it began
And...to that end we will adhere to its specifications
Until submission becomes what is forced upon us
This Jah sides with what is deemed as ours
Bowing turned toward his vision
Indifferent to the tune of government factions
Now...
That act then bow turned toward its image
Or what is supposed to be mass-produced safety
Through syllogistic obscurity their dynasticism suggests
At best meanings which leave confusion
Because When and only when
This weakling chooses to crack
Splatter and crash separate fact from apprehension
Anatomizing a losing battle
Where sovereignty chooses the wrong hemisphere.
