Immortality {21st Century}

You ride the Suzuki

Into the bedroom.

Beneath a bus.

Around U-turns…

I am not equipped

To handle

Such

Darings.

Because you wear

That crash-proof

Helmet, can it

Be imagined

You are safe

From it…

Its

Inventors!

Hard-Copy Department, Ukraine

What must word-play

Do with

An object

That

Doesn’t exist?

Revisit the flaw

Through

‘The Looking-Glass

War’

Says Alice.
