When the clouds enter the state
of analysis, you can be sure
the oceans have dried up.

The earth as a system
holds computers in cute,
inconstant surprise.

Measure twice
to strut once,
Exploiter's Parable.

May the pride 
that a fragment feels
at the moment of joining

be surpassed by the satisfaction
that shattering and stupefaction
provide to the elements

of elemental chaos.
