Expedience of Blank and Block

Expedience Of Blank And Block 
              Peculiar Particles Advance

Blank is observed out of context
Things go faster than light
As part of nature’s plan
Block likes spaces that occupy themselves at the same time 
Erratic perplexing specs of light that can’t abide sight detection
Blank lifts itself in like manner to perpetual inclinations
As they are not there and don’t exist
Particles are very precise unknowables
Block takes science to other levers in critical manner
Balances them there in introspective specifications
Immeasurable yet tamed by nuclear forces
Resonating in the void
Blank takes on new meaning not in and of itself
Devices, instruments, technological eyes quell
That matter stored and stopped in place
Equivalent is the stare of Blank to that end
Block is on the side of reason in speculation
Particles never harm the edge of their universe existence
The expedience of Blank and Block meanders on
In countless computations

Falling Apart

You are now standing 
at epicenter 
of violence.
It was an original trauma
for unknowables.

You intend to stride
straight through frozen limbs
cuddling the statement in love
with  slaughter.
The alveoli will speak
for corrugated windows.

Going nowhere from here 
to find the answers for fallen truths.
I have not understood
the concept of lying nude
in terror.

Musical chairs
will decide.
Who wins the bomb ?
