My Destruction
The world will repair itself.
And even if it doesn’t…
At least my destructive powers will be contained.
And even if my powers escape these concrete walls…
At least I can be strapped down.
And even then, if I am too powerful…
I can simply go back in time…
I can spend the rest of my life juggling each disaster.
Always connecting, and forgetting, and reconnecting in a new way.
There are ways to stay busy.
Even here, behind bars.
I can plan for everything from the sun rising-
To a single flower blooming in some indistinct place.
They say all I need to do is sleep…
But I’m awake and alone again.
Taking responsibility for all those coincidences.
