There is a Way of Breaking a Heart So That the Blood Spills Evenly onto the Page

Earth as first video game.

Loves to press the button.

Gets his first taste of power.

Even beats the computer.

It’s okay to kill the bad guys.

Gun as remote control.

Now the future.

History:

Slavery.

Galactic

Ordering

Dynamic

what they

could not

give.

nothing

but
