Homeostasis

I gloat on a mountain of cigarettes,

 

self-righteous mortals beneath a cloud of smoke,

 

polluted blood,

 

I howl as my cells siren for a piece of mind,

 

the sighing pulse awaits implosion of serotonin at cusp with the height of freight,

 

meditate above a red sky,

 

a germ symbotic with existential earth,

 

that of a worm,

 

crawling towards the burning sun.

 

out of sight,

 

watched by the giving tree,

 

return as dust,

 

thus,

 

I\'m but a fractal of transient life.
