Bowling in Reverse

on re-watching Spring Break 2006

nothing in return
all done with what if
i dove off a cliff
despairing my lack
my bare wingless back
but before i hit water

flames in a liquid furnace
my vantage of the surface
i saw the future of earth
a butcher give birth
to one who'd flood all
then fear stopped my fall
i flew to the mall
forgot what i learned

to the precision needed
to coexist with

the redundancy
of perhaps some other code
say, nucleosome.

so its poles need shift.

Scientists have long
