It was a cloudy day / After a Roman night of rain / First waves began to buzz / In my
bones below / At the speed of salt / Racing thoughts followed me at a trot / Passing
through the gated walls / Wondering why they were built so tall / To smithereens: a
gentle heart / Butterfly wings: plucked apart / Stitched and sewn: return to start / Sorrow
to speed: decaying Descartes / Regulation: down / Dopamine receptors: drowned / I
was found by the Vatican City Police / Kneeling ‘fore a masterpiece / Divinity seething
just beneath / Shadows crawling out the walls / Following me down the hall /
Reverberations / Man-made God / Battering my cones and rods / In the halls / Paired
skin shines like an apple / Barely breathing in the Sistine Chapel
