Whether a hypothesis or a prayer
both are still a wish
for something to be true
that is not yet provable
Baby spider or baby human
squished or bombed
the life hangs on the thread
of your unspoken beliefs
Ten slides pitched to
stakeholders nodding while texting a lawyer
All in all, the slaves will dig the whole deep enough
until allowable levels of blood in tap water
realize a 2% gain in our children’s college funds
Let the minutes show that
we have considered unwanted pregnancies
and agree the culture war benefits interest rates
Besides, those children never seem to guess the next shape in a sequence of random shapes
