What is choice, then? A ruse?
Allegory and rhyme
Hasten to prove the point:
What we're watching is true --
Our emotions tied to
Vacuous tropes and mime

Fear, laugh, fear, laugh

What is grace, then? Escape?
How to reclaim judgment?
Can we start to renew
The very rot of tropes
Rendered fecund from use
Reborn again as signs

Vacant, vacant, vacant
Hollow, hollow, hollow
