apollo

I'd like to be trans-humanity
(inde regnare coepit)
And talk to my alarm clock in whirring, impregnable sighs.
Heavy rain can make a streetlamp scream.
(suum corpus circumsaepit)
Isn't hubris delicious on toast?

Godless times call for godless measures
(iniustus rex fuit)
His is the steel and mortar heart of this glass paradise.
An angel smiles up from the storm drain, teeth gilded with filth.
(in alio bello)
What is it like to be organic in a concrete world?

Why yes, I live in four dimensions.
(bellum, pacem, societates)
Time sings on our windowpanes
And one can watch puddles of soft life evaporate at midday.
(magnam praedem cepit)
Don't you like the way he flutters?

Let the only light come from the sky.
(mores dispares errant)
He cheapens the world with a single chord.
This dirt is nothing but ash and honest bone.
(ita poterat occidere)
Does your infinity make you insane?
