THE LANTERN'S GLOW

Advertising churning nebulosity,

abstract consistency in vital pseudoscience.

Uxbridge, Kilarney, Minden,

mutants of the apocalypse,

urban landscapes turned rural

in absence of confluence.

Political correctness revolving upon the primitive.

Oppression's transfixed in cold calling direction,

victimizing cliche's othering obstacles.

Generosity of affect,

mocking adapting adoptions.

Neopolitical charactericity,

binary ampoule injecting the Tao,

into fuel injected muscle cars.

Gleaning the sphere's oblong relativism,

gleaming the cube.

Corkscrew trajectories,

critical sharia law,

stoning statues instead,

into symbolic terraforming.

Casting differentiation aside,

accusing trust of weakness.

In deference of prohibition,

abjective globocubic discretion,

dissolving destiny.

There can be only one

winning objectivity,

in the heat of the night.

Violational passivity,

concerting quarks,

metric of quantum.

Reconciling fundamentalism,

gearing mechanism of speculation,

contacting detainment.

Unveiling revolutions,

glowering symptoms,

concerting the gathering,

near the lantern's glow.
