in the drawing room of the studio
apartment on 93rd and Park. They
who fell on Hecate's brambles did not
see what it meant to be alive, and
he that elopes with Aphrodite does not
know what it means to feel alive
We blind the dogs in the nighttime;
We cut the cats of Kristallnacht.
It was days since the attack on our
raspberry bushes. The aphids came at
us in full force, tearing the bush from
limb to limb, and eating every leaf.
The garden almost had been
replanted until he came
to knock it down, onto the patio.
Why does the owl kill its prey?
Why does the stork deliver its darkness?
It was the fact that James groaned about
receiving something he didn't deserve that
made Alan Turing put himself back
on a shelf. It should have been
Nikola Tesla
to shave off the work, but he was too busy
buying stock in Apple.
It's tiring to think we could have made it,
and lonesome to believe we did.
But most of all,
We've fallen short of the Sun.
Congratulations!
