Destruct

There is an energy,
A chasm,
A lisp of language,
That dominates
Destroys
And mandates the laws
Of the multiverse.
It doesn’t matter
Which pill
The red
Or the blue,
But what matters
To us
Is “if.”

If.

The water--
If it’s contaminated.
Our oxygen--
If it disappears.
Our shelter--
If it burns,
But never “when.”
Destruct.
