Dissonance
with a mellifluous reading by the poet
Cognitive dissonance.
Permanent imminence.
Sinister innocence.
Period piece.
Slaughterhouse Five-and-dime.
Drifting, unstuck in time.
Punish my every crime.
Disallow peace.
Infinite jeopardy.
Mythmaking cleverly.
Limitless energy.
Random alarms.
Shock and awe lullaby.
Blitzkrieg as alibi.
Sorry can't nullify
unwitting harms.
