Messages from the forgotten time
sneak back through cassette
soak his sorrows in gasoline
before setting them ablaze
he knows himself
tries to move his mind forward
knows why he did not have children
six billion is enough for any world
he promises himself
he will not explode
just create
solve all problems through poetry
the next day dawns
he rolls over
the fish stares at him through the glass
is he a real dinosaur, or just lying to himself.
