Description Today you are going nowhere,
yesterday your life was flaming,
yesterday people were passionate about intrepid things,
passionate to run and let themselves fall into first thoughts,
to forget about the second.

To listen to a city sing and scream and convulse with crying laughs.

Night-lights broke
      and people cracked
        and burned
          and hurt
and helped tape each other back together with ideas born from marvelous monsters.
Thoughts so cognizant they shatter into tiny segments
that move like nests of fire-flies into everyone's conversations.
Yesterday no one ever said a banal thing,
they were wild to breathe,
wild to think,
wild to care.

And today we are sane,
today we are the living dead.
