Universe Pity

feel sorry for us
we applied brain-
exercise machines
we’ve been operated
upon for the whole 
of our existence
be zither, rhythm
frankly, we are impress
impressionable, meaning
our maps have been
taken out of context
and rewritten
for a world
that is obviously not
anyone’s
thank unity it’s over
or it can be over
leave, leave
make your own autumn
fate cannot be trusted
to run with scissors
roll out, not on
seethe not, young ones
be as a nest
and fall apart
