Looking up at the milky, sapphire sky<\/p>\n

Sulphur butterflies in my titanium gut<\/p>\n

My purpose to counteract some oversupply<\/p>\n

Apparently there was no choice<\/p>\n

In those distant skies I will dilute their blue<\/p>\n

Painting the clouds like Monet or Van Gogh<\/p>\n

My enlightened masters can then rejoice<\/p>\n

The fallout left for somebody\u00a0new<\/p>\n
