The Recess

Between the rooftop and the treetop, there's

a fine recess where Zeroes sleep until

they're woken by a man in love who dives,

a zygote and divides himself to die.

The Zeroes rush to bring him death at once,

like nurses who've to get their sooty hands

back home, so they just choose to speed the scene

up, killing easy men or children or...

da dum da dum da dum da dum da dum,

the beat, the note, the heart, the stick, the drum.

Between the treetop and the rooftop lies

the fixed recess that carries nothing, but

contains it all.

Between the treetop and the rooftop,

ovals purse ova.

Between the treetop and the rooftop

is a reverse Supernova.

dum da dum da dum da dum da.

The mouthing by Zeroes is coitus.

The fetus, lost in the recess, is bait,

to be contained until Life,

chooses in Death, a surrogate.
