Failed State

In a polystyrene citadel
They are waiting for a miracle
Eyesights aligned
Try to end the messy love affair
With the chemical excuse for their
Failed states of mind
Some suspicion of calamity
Preprogrammed into reality
Here’s as far as they will ever get
For the retro-simulation set
Wrong end of time
Failed state
On a droplet in an empty void
Varied beverages are enjoyed
Half-empty cups
Imitations of the definite
Intonations of the infinite
This time is right
Failed state
