On Endarkenment

Dirkinōn, darken the azure, as eyes
in the pools of blue skies, let in no light
remember photons form an appearance
kindness, Dirkinōn, what I say is lies
in bad faith, we trust, the reverse is true
negate the words of speech to set aright
ō'aki, fly me to the moon, clearance
not required for non-security

dark side, not dark, far side, beyond the blue
ask me, ask me not, ask me, ask me not
remember, in love with me, never fall
kick the colorless green ideas, the snot
enjoy the blood on the driveway, recall
notorious ball of obscurity

trust not what I say to you, understand
honesty is for the wicked, to scorn
ephemeral phenomena, the real

anxiety to perform, the demand
zaboo is no taboo, but creative
under duress, boredom, undead, unborn
remember the blood in the driveway, feel
ecstatic until the pills wear off, then

azure skies above, thrive, who wants to live
suffer from suffocation, the sorrow

employs billions to exploit, make money
yet, never enough, never mind, sparrow
everyone knows, the rich shoot up honey
suckers, too old for this, never again
