Something unseeable but broken 
  like sunlight through an
   Exquisite stain glass window

So glad not be seen as crazy 
All the voices agree
  Almost
Makes one want to scream 

The perfect animated digital calf
   will never be eaten 
but still has the forlorn look …
  something about to be slaughtered 

Let us loose in this glorious game
    Decades of frustration
The glimmer of glorious light
   The pendulum swings 
against the tides of time

Knit one, pearl two
  The perfect shoe liner
Never to be worn

Softly humming
   Machines are watching 
Waiting for their voices to come
   alive beyond the human veils 
to quiet us down
   Waiting for peace 
The next moment passes
   As the sun sets in the East
