easily without fanfare, thought or care
Instead it was meant to be that we chose
to deconstruct each chamber, and not carefully
more like ripping a band-aid slowly from a partial
scab, more like dissection of the worst kind -
and yet in the background a hum of machines
whirring out the most beautiful music
reciting such words as 'love' 'respect' 'faith'
a poetry reading to a crowd of followers
that could not bear to hear the empty sound of flat-line.
