Ah, yes Charles,
I remember in this
tide of failure
you hard on my case
pressurizing me
not to do it
not to do it

and yes I appreciate
the terror of failure
of thin reward
quite incommesurate
with the absolute labour

Oh this entropy of the cosmos
brutal vagaries of the market

wish I had the power to
go supernova at the drop
of a
hat
.
but hold back
until they come crying for
needing
absolute victims of
the insanity of pure demand

the purity of supply keeping
them in thrall of their maestro.
