afterthought

5th floor, reactor 4, fukushima daichi

yes i'm sitting up now

reading about fukushima

watching the world split

like an atom and then

the inevitably collapse

in an afterthought

of what went wrong

plate tektonics

continental shelves

pressurized drilling

beautiful new weapons

into the ionsphere

like blown plutonium

into lung tissue

i need to ask because

i have an imagination:

do they really think

they can get away with it

this silent but deadly

manipulation of

universal chaos?
