Grief has been warning of this
Sharks in the street
Dreams strewn about in a mess
The modernists by trade
With their vapid anecdotes
The Merchants of doubt
Selling clues about the
Ancient astronauts
All trapped in stories
Now I must unlearn life
The snuff of systematic platitudes
And all the artists of the world slowly turn round
Naked but for jewelry
and bow into the abyss
vanguards of a zoo world
with no health plan
Loved but left alone
