after James McRae
create some form
of expression to excite
our sixth sense, amuse us
in a fourth dimension
create some form
of expression to excite
our sixth sense, amuse us
in a fourth dimension
we humans get nostalgic
for something new
to be nostalgic about, ditto
with romanticism and
melancholy, whatever
tricked out rhyme hums in your nitrogen
lay it on our carbon base, fair warning
we have a history
of crucifying guests, yet
we starve for novel figures
to glow in our synapses
tell you what, just elevate
and lead us to our mirrors
and lead us to our mirrors
we’ll see ourselves in you,
as we always do, I only ask that
you be a just and loving god
as we always do, I only ask that
you be a just and loving god
Well done, I like the added instructions! You definitely tapped into the same vibe as McCrae's poem here, very nice! 💜
