Bulldozer
Hair and tongue, like flame licking stained
scorched ground, a pyrrhic victory
melting electric ideas through rubber wire
fueled by resistance, extorting conquest
with preemptive war.
An overdose of tears watering
selfish Newtonian plants
whose seeds weren't planted,
grasping for root in a wind
of passionate self-assertion
amidst the nutrient-deprived dust
they evolve carnivorous teeth
and cannibalize on one another
demanding substance from nothing
A martyr for hallow eggs.
There's no way to be wrong when you have nothing left
