Enduring the burden of existence.

imperfection, woven in fleshy carbon:
docile, seldom, gears of war chuckling,
fret, forget— forge, endless suffering

as

creatures, vain and selfish, procreate,
thrusting, thus thrusting to life, blood:
heavy heads, onto grim, grave graves

by

biological baseness, finite organs, ripe,
temporal tools for blind, eternal work:
enduring the burden of existence, bleak.
