Butterflies

I pray.
I pray that my mad murmurings
Might filter into your subconscious mind
And think your thoughts the way they should be.
I pray that some shuffling shoes
Should perturb the air and shift
The house of cards to its center of gravity.
I pray that countless cursory kowtows
Could jostle my brain into conceiving
THAT THE UNIVERSE
IS DEAD.
