Columbus - 201627/7/2022 I have seen countless suns rise
Breathing air from alien skies. And I lived a thousand lives, None of which felt like lies. I am a just avenger And a false pretender A princess to be saved And a demon to be slain. If I can get a souvenir With the final frontier Sitting at my doorstep Why sit idle instead? My destinies were forged, Whether light or tragic Through power gorged From this binary magic! ... I am free from physics’ cage.

Starchild - 201427/7/2022 I envy the apoptotic.
... Silence in our primeval soup. An amoeba shivers in the dark, As the entropic hammer of time Scatters its atoms across the land. My bones resonate to its cries, As time seeps into me, Like a gangrenous growth, Slowly putrefying my youth. Youth, that my genome defines, Orders that are not easily defied. This blueprint belongs not to me, But to all eternity. Being freed from physics' cage, Could have helped me through this age, But for now, I’m growing old, Circuits freezing in the cold. Evolution, oh blind engineer, Why did you have to make me!? I am but a fleeting husk, That evaporates ere fall of dusk. A fission reactor about to blow, As radioactive atoms glow, Starlight is my blood, Spacedust is my heart, There is still vacuum left. Though I'm way above zero kay. Take me back old Milky Way, Let me shine again! |
