  • FuturePHANTOM prologue

    it came upon dark twinkling abberrations

    mirrors reflected black holes into the deepest

    parts of the consciousness of the past and present

    the towns folk gazed outside their windows

    no electricity, candles shook like their eyes

    they felt heat & energy inside their cerebral cortex

    it somehow split apart like atoms,

    their eyes oozed from the foreheads

    miracles of birth spewed fetus upon fetus concurrently,

    the babies already 100 years old, they spoke in soft tones

    to the chamber maids screaming from the doorways

    out into the parking lots of the local hospital

    cars stopped on highways

    above them something akin to a UFO drifted highlighting the sky

    new life had begun, their dreams forever transformed

    their identities all like blank slates.  new names. new histories.

    the futurePHANTOM only smiled as he seemed to skip 

    like a stone across the galaxy and its infinite universe.

    nothing could quell his thirst.

    knowledge was eternal, he an immortal, left to explore

    and chase the truth from here and beyond.
