These people walk(although they’re dead)
These people talk(although they’re dead)
These people cadaverously go through the appearances of
being alive(although they’re dead)
These patterns fight(although they’re dead)
These machines bury their dead(even as they themselves are dead)

These machines function(with cause-and-effect robotic mechanicalness)
These machines move(with cause-and-effect robotic mechanicalness)
These machines calculate and measure(with cause-and-effect mechanicalness)
These marionettes agree(with cause-and-effect mechanicalness)
These machines salute,march,bow,dance,and kill(with cause-and-effect mechanicalness)

These numerous fears function(through and “as” time)
These habitual mental labels function(through and “as” time)
These endless desires function(through and “as” time)
These absorbed ideas function(through and “as” time)
These cognitive symbols function(through and “as” time)

These few people of heartfelt caring(make an infinite difference over,in,and above time)
These short moments beyond fragmentation(may hint at something beyond the limitations of time)
These suggestive movements beyond the norm(might break through the prison bars of time)
These movements outside of instilled beliefs(might break out of the cocoon of time)
These final fortunate endings of words(point to something superior to time)
These Halloween Days are full of manmade global horrors
