Because true ambition
cannot be grasped
by the fingers;
from nowhere on earth
are the stars
getting closer.
Only here and there
a few shiny trailblazers
still grow richer,
look younger,
get laid.
*
Because true darkness
is when
nothing gets reflected;
not even
ignorance.
Not even shame.
*
is sadistic as a
Star Trek transporter—
how willingly
its users will
murder the tenor
for the sake of driving
a dangerous vehicle
breakneck
to its destination.
