There are two typos in the above. \u00a0“in” is missing from “She was all alone in the city.” \u00a0And “at” is missing from “Quickly stopping at a zombie hangout.”<\/em><\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

OCKSIE MORON’S DREAM<\/strong><\/font><\/font><\/p>\n


<\/p>\n


<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The city is exceptionally mundane
\n in Ocksie Moron’s dream.
\n There lonely crowds honestly feign
\n the same differences seen.<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

A scattered pile of happenstance,
\n Infinite intimate strangers.
\n Sophisticated ignorance
\n in minefield of secure dangers.<\/p>\n

Each acutely oblivious
\n to quiet cries for help.
\n Belabor secrets obvious
\n like hyperactive kelp.<\/p>\n

To each his untouched intercourse
\n From each her fair injustice,
\n inflicting voluntary force;
\n interminable solstice.<\/p>\n

Hid in plain sight, small greatness looms
\n among each soul’s parched spring,
\n for from its muses’ birthing tombs
\n mute songs from hearts may sing.<\/p>\n

Though daylight nightmares’ divinity
\n may shape lonely cityscapes,
\n No limited infinity
\n prevents prisoners’ escapes.<\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

For even mindless thoughts may bring
\n unconscious revelations,
\n of how to walk on ceilings,
\n follow leading inspirations.<\/strong><\/font><\/font><\/p>\n
