Skeleton
Soporifics fail tonight    nerves scuttling in the
 kitchen   god-knows-what skulking round in its nasty restless
 exoskeleton. It seems we’re creeping into the midnight of our fleeting
 lives. Avarice, nasty, snark all trending ... nothing so fuzzy or
 elemental as love.   Is this the new new age?   Do not
 touch, said the calendar on every single page.
 On with it, life said.      One day we’ll all just zoom away.
 (Now I’ve put too fine a point on it.)
