        fade to uncool   
      
   the elements dissolve   
   the arm withers  the legs fail   
   voice is stilled   
   static...  a buzzing...   
   gone... gone... gone...   
   goodly well and truly gone   
   so?  ha!   
      
   does gone have marks?   
   what are the signs of gone?   
   does gone ever change?   
   in time all things are perfectly gone   
      
   when will gone come...?   
   these are the heralds of gone   
   chanted by the ancient gibbon...   
   a mounting love of show and luxury   
   a widening gap 'twixt rich and poor   
   an obsession with sex  !   
   freakishness in the arts   
   masked as creativity...   
   these are the heralds of gone   
      
   when it ends will it end or   
   will it fail to end faced with   
   what?  what mark?  what sign?   
      
   whipped and beaten beatific   
   beyond thought catching sight   
   of some revelation not here   
   but gone somewhere gone   
   and unable to speak it or of it   
   or about it voice gone   
   finally gone do you hear it   
   or of it or about it or do you hear   
   nothing?   
   without an ear will you hear nothing   
   with certainty   
   as you fade to uncool?
