\nMargaret Atwood, Cat\u2019s Eye<\/em><\/p>\n
\nflags flapping above
\nsquares, stripes and triangles in bright colours
\ncombined to separate, mark identity and division,
\ntheir clear cut shapes don\u2019t know
\nthe blurring of indecision and contradiction.<\/p>\n
\nBombyx mori, civilization memento mori.
\nThe news waiting at the door
\nback from the dark with predictions of unredeemed world
\nthe inevitable falling, falling of humans.<\/p>\n
