Poetry, poems, and reposts, rarely ripostes.
Do you look at a part of yourself in the eye Advanced forms of breathing Undiscovered ways of seeing Pristine disclosures Do things just be what they are Is there a creature who can comprehend the world

Uranium is useful fuel and we should consider saving enough for when the earth needs to deorbit the ailing sun and transit perilous space to bring life as we know it to a different star.

Monochrome Geometry A line of pure design That mocks the careful plan Escapes the board's confine. Zebra, negative space, A mirage in the dust, Moves with a knowing grace.
