From early promise, barrenness. From vaunting,
vaulting ambition, sprains in both groin and wrist.
To what conceit should we now turn our hand?
Between self-shielding obscurity and exactitude
striking the carapace, the angle of incidence
is equal to the angle of reflection. Nearly.
In hiding, withholding, you show some grasp at least
of the matter, be it with yourself. Suggest
proliferation as the collective noun
for counter-measures. Load up on kryptonite.
Maybe we can turn this thing around
in mid-air, give it - I dunno - a virus
or something. Rotate the frequencies. Anthrax-tipped
warheads no match for eggheads. You bet your ass.
