from Rust to ruin
by November the eye of the storm
would have grown into two
no longer a Cyclops
the monster continually evolving
like any other living thing
to the point it becomes
unrecognizable
some say Mass Destruction
is just what the world needs
a thinning of the crowd so to speak
crash & burn & reseed
earthbound Meteors
coming home to roost
every thousand millennium
the Tin Man seems to know
exactly what’s happening
heartless but not stupid
standing perfectly petrified
deep inside the rainforest
september two thousand twenty-two
