We wake wild-eyed
With woes warping
What we watch
Where we wander
Who we welcome
When we’re well-behaved
When we’re wicked
When
We’re
Whole
We warily work when worries wrestle with wanting
Willpower wilting
Warmth withdrawing
We wonder, when will we wake without woe
Wars waged without wisdom
We wish whole-heartedly
We wait wistfully
Withering while we worship wealth

The Great Uncoupling of 2229
“I realize there are still aspects of humanity that my kind cannot understand or appreciate….” The soft, airy voice resonating from the orb that trailed Teyhx through the hallway of her dorm pleaded with her to see reason. Though, ultimately, the decision was not hers anyways.
