she feels as a lamppost half-flickering in isolation’s fate
a be-damned trapped in cataclysmic state…
and they…they have themselves convinced
her there should be from their minds rinsed.
— to which of an ear hears the radio girl?
she serenades the immortals
since the mortals are earless
to her reality.
