Like a child who fell through the cracks in welfare<\/strong>
\n like a doll falling through a pit in a nightmare<\/strong>
\n I am reeling in time and space like a lost satellite;<\/strong>
\n drawn closer and closer to a swallowing void of dark matter<\/strong><\/p>\n

I am hopeless, futureless and desolate; abandoned in time,<\/strong>
\n No-one reaches out to catch my hand in the darkness,<\/strong>
\n Silence screams like tinnitis in the chasm of space
\ntime lurches on and I am immobile<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

I am lost and broken like a shattering of dreams<\/strong>
\n like a smattering of blood, a withering of roses<\/strong>
\n there is no hope in me, there is no future, not even death;<\/strong>
\n only the beckoning\u00a0 spectre of age, that makes caricatures of us all.<\/strong><\/p>\n
