[ SciFi & Fantasy ] Fathers and Sons
One of these Things is not like the Others
None of these Others are from our own world
As each unnatural door
is created by mad Bishops
squared off with one another
on the board in undeclared war
fought with Science and Machines ...
... this bridge-building between universes
crisscrossing Presents into Pasts and Futures
opens wide the lid to Pandora's Box
Checkmated by paradox
sons of the Bishops
become no more
No more

opens Pandora's Box
Checkmated by paradox
the sons of the Bishops are no more
