Ultimately Nullified
All is ruination supreme
and life a bitter joke
in desolation nightmare scream
on universal folk...
as if in horror cinema
whose cast must suffer stunts
where matter force in minima
means bearing real brunts.
Thus for sure reality sucks;
a clock just winding down
away from youth and thrilling fucks
like verbs reduced to noun.
And so to death we modify,
even during Yule,
regifting fodder when we die;
with ourselves as gruel.

Brilliantly written, MS. Into the list it belongs. Appreciate you.

I don't know if you're into old comic books, but the title is a reference to an old Fantastic Four issue where Reed Richards brandishes "the ultimate nullifier" against Galactus.
Good times.
Good times.

I love your social commentary. Unfortunately, I feel as though the holidays bring out the worst in people, and I don't just mean in cruelty. Something about it smells of death to me, which I suppose isn't unfitting.
You're very flexible in your vocabulary and connect thematic dots so well, I'm jealous.

That's very sweet of you to say 😊
I've been very fortunate to have had a community college English teacher for a father, and so I grew up in a family of readers and a house full of books and conversation, which all accumulates into literary experience that can be turned into poetry, where I think being somewhat scatterbrained actually becomes an advantage later on in the thematic dot connections that make poetry so fascinating, or even positively spellbinding sometimes.
Christmas can be a bummer, but I like it more than I used to, because we keep it modest, and therefore less stressful.
You're getting a good start while you are young so I predict you will be a truly spectacular poet in no time at all.
Here's hoping the holidays will be good to you 🎄🎄🎄

Not sure why I thought of Charlton Heston screaming Soylent Green.
Well done MS
