There isn’t anything
new in the world
Matter, prefabricated
nor destroyed
fumes in factories
of futilitarians

consummate infinite

I eat the soggy world
on my bone-plate
The tines of my chosen fork
strike a musical forte
The death dirge of war machine
cog-teeth
scrapes the upper crust
from the metal

In the real world
next to the current events
My son covers his eyes,
counts backwards from ten…

Such a powerful ending Walt!
How do we explain this sort of thing
to our children so that we might
still their fear?
