IT WAS THE BRIGHTEST OF TIMES, IT WAS THE DARKEST OF TIMES

'the 20th century

was our greatest work of art'

said the voice

with an echo

in a sample

in a song

an ensemble & complicit piece
a stealth piece unframed

genocide & the moonshot
atomic fruit & lsd

its consequence babies
live corrupted now
in the collapse of words
