Ossification Children have smooth surfaces, and tough When younger, Disputes boil forth Into bumping matches, with little damage done. And might is right And the vanquished glad of it Because fatigue is the final victor. So how comes These porcelain beings Bristling with lawsuits Nuclear missiles And flaying sardonic wit To be? No more to touch Lest spikes be broken off Triggers triggered. Eye cannot meet eye Without mouth spewing forth A steady song of deadening music. Tom Portegys, BTL IH, ihuxv!portegys
