Preaching honesty in vain Everyone has already made up their minds Shapeless phantoms impersonate bankrupt souls The will to look ahead corrupts the need to look inside Imagination summons for meaning in the form of a story As I write a letter to no one at all It reaches on the shore of an apocalyptic…
