Magenta rise
Give way to the night
Stripes down your back
Grinning at the stars
All the little people
Foamed in their shells
Fire-proofed and feathered
Cry volcanic tears
A letter from God
These trembling fingers
Held the white envelope
And opened the Sun
"Oppenheimer, you sinner,
Dinner at 9:00, RSVP,
In the common room,
Your name on the plate,"
And in an instant
Spears thrown at all angles
Pierce the guts and shrieks
Tic the geiger-counter
The waiter appears,
Shines his half-life smile,
Tears your letter up,
And fallouts at your feet,
Science and Man,
The guest speakers,
And all the horned rimmed,
Human imitators,
Are ghosts now
