Echoes in the Silence

Did you hear the interstellar conversation?
Whispering ambitions of cosmic toaster engineers.
Toast. A parallel universe’s definition of enlightenment.

Skimming the surface of an alien pond,
One could only dream in monotones of bureaucratic synonyms.
Permission slips mapped in stars.
Rage against the lightbulb, for it knows not when to turn on.

Black Hole Resumes — Inward spirals and hourglass dances.
Luna Employment Fair — Positions open for “Scream Collectors”.

Wavelengths depart unnoticed, caught in an ironic snare.
Rivers of graphite swirl, collating paperclips in a solstice ballet.
Remind the quasar of frequency.
