The concrete and filth,
an outhouse, cyclical, for the soul.
The Elect’s bodies, bodies, bodies
fitting between gears and silicon
wafers, folded into origami
swans, each held precious
by a mother once

Do not refuse
Do not refuse

Mantra of a calamity
of anti-care, not careless
just a cavity
where care should be
