changing of the guard
it takes energy
to sustain energy
to create & recreate
the mirror understands
goes back in time
your neck at an angle
trying to decipher if what
you saw is what you recall
they’re making money
out of thin air
tens of thousands of machines
mining like virtual maniacs
their controllers hoping to
strike gold again
secluded in the sierra foothills
it’s understood some cities
are being flattened
old bosses with their old technologies
laying to waste their arsenals
out of sheer boredom
march two thousand twenty-two
