Atoms atone another atrophy
before becoming bombed backwards
causing catastrophes, causing closure:
downing dogma, drowing dogs.
Dystopia. Caffeine. Brassic. Atoned.

Archy’s Final Words
Brought forward six days, Archibald, a flighty culprit, hangs low from an apricot plant.
His joints drag along sandy ground, not a gash upon his throat but an instant scar upon his floor (a wind would wash this wound away) –
Wordly, as lock jaw rocks his lurid mouth, a diabolic chord is struck – this cosmology is a slur – his psalm just an outpouring of
               “No God”
               “No God”
               “No God”
