№ 585: Dreamers Are Ever Extremists

EXTREMIS, April 30

Far right and far left
brains have equal heft —
ether heavy as helium —
both think thoughts
all ones and naughts
and are subject to bouts of delirium,
with the world view
that they, the few
destined to the Imperium,
could bring perfect order
if they only slaughter
all things in their way
from whales to bacterium.
