In this hyper-active
Instant gratification
Community of Chaos
Things move so fast
As to be forgotten
Before they are thought of"
Disposable emotions
tossed in the trash
with misdirected bottles
of Diet Pepsi-
Who will wait with me?
to watch maple pods
spin from a tree"
They wish to impregnate the earth-
They wish to give birth-
But slowly" Very slowly"
In this hyper-active
Instant gratification
Community of Chaos
Things move so fast-
So fast-
As to be forgotten
Before they are thought of"
