In zombie ashes
keeping pace with
the usurping back
of a restless new rise.
This is

your present state
in the ongoing product
of the same machine
you once had
depended on
and which now you
struggle to define.

As this will define you
if you keel over
and just let it.
If you do not destroy
the decisions
you comprise,
these will affirm you
in your default.

By no choice of mine.
