The Mouse That Clicked

by James M. Nordlund

They say, "where's your passion,
That's why you're dead."
It's not delusional pleasures
Which brings the dew to eye,
Mind, to ask why, a bird to fly.

The life, what, is it?
...Is more to be then it is;
In potentia, evolving.
They say, "Caesar hasn't
Gotten his due."
Reality, silently echoes,
Extinction's on your way.

They say, "everything's
La machine"; the
Convolution's devolution,
Bragging. I say,
"We", still being
The life, will!
