BEGGARED
IT IS THE BEAST WE ARE RELUCTANT TO CONFRONT
& WE ARE BEGGARED BY IT
1976 demure bride Now cool hipstergirls
in lace shorts+tie dye offer me their seats on
the ttc Statistically they are unlikely to marry
Time unglues us Brain-tricks us Confuses
You get to do this once or do you? Multiversers
would stop the poem right here +tell you: that
Other Life the one with the 22 yr. old husband
is being lived by you on the Other Earth
Here rot-skin bone-pain & a planet with a rough
heart-shaped mass is blinking at us The true nature
of this feature is not yet known says NASA Such a
romantic rorschach result for a species enamoured of
the abyss
So is the Other Earth like this? Or do the young couple
stay young have 3 children in a world where no child
is a prized sex-slave? Rot-skin Brain-tricked Look away
from the un-bearable & smile
