Terminated Nascent Dynasty (a poem)

   At the borders of mind
touching matter nothiness is
politicians fading into the jungle
sloppy wet fish
slimy scales slipping in the water
disappearing time entangled with fermions 

  Encounters of interference patterns
meanings in metaphysics
dialectical evolution
unstructured structures compiling purposefully
porpoise diving deep

   Total recall 
of brackets and parentheses
sliding away after filling with glory
walking figure into nuclear sunset
no reason required for substance

   Nameless ballots cast for power
lost to forever
thoughts once counted
were given no date

   Apocalyptic toggle switches
robots serving for middle terms
syllogisms leading to nothingness

   Guts thrown over the landscape
draw respect from the seas

  The sea shall bury the dead.
