We Construct Fairy Tales

Grip, tighten, grip, holding, 
Go, let it, simple, minded.
Pattern, waves, stable.
Mirror, image, mind, fantasy,
One, not, like, the, other.

One, moment, please...

Grab, hold, grapple, harden,
Leave, leave it, complex, surgical.
Decisions, apart, unstable,
Glass, photograph, brain, once
Upon, a, time.

Ready, or not, here,
Machine, complete,

Alone, breathe, like,
Laughter, crack, a
Smile, like a,

Stranger.
