Grey
The human mind's tested,
morals abated. Dulled.
The potter breathes into multi-cells.
Abort mission? Or soldier on?
Enter the rat race,
neglected peeled walls due
to surfing in the work pile
sucking up to Midas.
Microchips and nano bits
strong as a colony, easy picks solitary.
We trust them too much,
these WWW golden calves.
Worse than bankers;
once hacked, considered dead.
Shishi pipes filled with
various notes for the soul.
Exhale, tantamount.
Rise to the cosmos,
pluto cries. WRONG!
Claim astronomers.
What do they know
about X that I don't?
Lucifer's purgatory
pupal stage before damnation.
As the "rapture rapes the muses"
in unholy matrimony,
even nephilim's iron fist
can't clench the deluge.
And then, deafening stillness.
With everything in unison, monotonic
this monogamous cultural pot, and
yin and yang cracked and spilled
over, yolk and all. Duality arise:
so is it one identity or no identity?
Oh these grey areas.
Of shaded pastures under nimbus clouds
set in confounding metro maps.
So I skipped the grey and turn.
I never did find X's identity.
