On the Death of My Parents by Connie Woodring

In a milli-second to the 50^th power after

                                 the Original ovumsperm

                                  spread throughout the universal womb,

                 neo-farctions,  plasmacratins, e0-gons and malapractons

                                  took full responsibility for                    

                                                 invisibility

                                                         and

                                                   INFINITY.

The jealous NOGOD, fearing all would be saved,

                                             created mediocre

                                                     mortality.
