Just outside the back of his callused mind
compressed onto a shiny metal orb,
a conjured notion avoids, untethered.
Touch and felt impression hesitantly ignored.
Retinal cognition will assure its design
yet a plurality of faculty fails to absorb,
it’s weight, “not seen”, radius “lacks measure”.
The tally of gods denounces, yet a single eye implored.
With adjacent hemisphere’s approval maligned
and memory in denial, objectivity was poised to abhor,
a visceral slab of bone, powerfully descends in leather.
Its Celsius pulse, not in accord…
Under and behind fallen tears, streams combine
They splash and puddle, as losses scored,
He being diminished, himself the transgressor.
With thought and perception divergent, his future unmoored.
