ITERLOGUE (18

Compromise content aided
by tradition covering
an open-ended question

Every tale in which mind
triumphs through answers
that enable workers to
give up the fight

Enveloping the system as
a feedback loop increasing
the risk of cycle revulsion

Shots fired across globe
bolstering boundaries
that can’t be trusted

Weight given to verdict
delivered by demands of
self-preservation

Cutting what we remember
of wonder down to size
