to ebb away time, like a blood-smeared
pension, without a single contribution;
a complete waste of foresight.

a walk of static chants outside the realm of any class.
A measure of hate wrapped up in pedantry, excuses for broken truths; a rejected solar wind preferring the solitude of galaxies; a wiped clean slate, ready for rebirth.
