fanatical inaction
interior terrors
as you believe you disbelieve
what you don't believe
a lack of cognitive hygiene
when the alteration falters
the wights weighted with wit
with self-soothing cynicism
a pidgin of demotic and offensive gestures
devoid of inner resources
interrogating the ghosts in the machines
with a degree in Applied Problematics
self-fulfilling profit—see?
guilt has not lungs but gills
