THE DECADES OF DECADENCE

Staring into the Cloudmap panopticon,

in the marrow of discovery.

Pontificating perfusion at the persuasion of pretense,

obfuscating obvidian* obstrusiveness,

in these aeon-echoes,

cascading in the midnight's twilight.

At the behest of theoretical absence,

practiced impractically,

in these persuasions forming thusly

a tactic for eternity.

Meanwhile, forever,

a sort of soonness forms itself of eventuality,

as a confluence of influence,

forms retrospection,

in the known mysteries,

of the decades of decadence.

*My new word for the obvious pleasures of existence.
