Tuesday, August 19

we only see the aeroplanes.

Somewhere in the black recess,
deep in the darkness, 'hind a hill
far away, the sky glows ominously
red. A quiet night flame burns.
It violently jumps in mighty
spurts orange and malevolently greys
great billows. It is
a fire so wildly strong, so
consuming; somewhere out there is Hell
on Earth. Yet in spite o' its deathly glory -
its fearsome enorm'ty -
it's just another distant danger, lost,
far in the background, far
from the notice
of the passing people and the passing planes
and the smooth-running of life
as it is seen
from the viewing mall.

We were all meant to busily
shuffle through this port, anyway.

it's cool how your background stays the same as when you scroll, good job!
