Some Say

We never know,
Some say
When time severs our earthly Glow
Eminence of lively decay

Obedience by radiate deviant
Some say I was
Relic's relative rumination
Of fanatic's latent personification

Lantern-jawed
Some say I chose turn pose
Savant's defiance
Polarized face tuned Grace

Pernicious duality
Some say I am
Status starling
Solvent previously existing

Vapor's tranquil trance
Some say still today
Outside it stands beside
Our young doppelganger beware

Martian of fractured potential
Some say futile context fatal
Forcing sweepstakes
Racing record player's set seventy-eight

Days on days
We believe I'm here to stay
