Falsifiable Poem

We have proven this piece
farce
harsh words haste-lettered

bettered by nonce
since then
our thesis mimes sepsis

medical as a metaphor
spined to the point of a finger
left out in the cold

frost light! first bite weakens
fifth pleases
billionth bacterializes, prizing

and reprising until
the end of this poem's
watch

the twelve that swells
with died, gone as midnight
broadening the early oughts

after the moon becomes
a whisper from a sparrow
whose voice was lost

when egg verses broke
into autodidactic
extinction song
