I wonder if he was really aiming to capture the horrific terror of a civilization swallowing a trauma that will pass through the digestive, nervous, endocrine, and healthcare systems of generations to come (and they keep on coming)¹…

That “face as pitiless as the sun…” gazing outward before slouching toward some vexing cradle… (I don’t know… The falcon gets lost the wider the gyre…). Some millennials will get it.

I mix metaphors and lines… I guess these aren’t really bars per se because I can’t imagine bars that se per se.

^{How many bars can you say have words that say that words that say per say?}

The falconer yeets the falcon.
If you love something, fling it into the apocalyptic malestrom.
For if it returns…


…come again?
