\nover the past 22.5 hours
\nhas been in a world not this one
\nas I continue to flesh out
\nmy Young Adult Novel in Verse
\n<\/span>manuscript Dropped the Sky \u2014
\n<\/span><\/i>a beyond dystopian alternearth
\nwhere seemingly 99.9% of earth\u2019s
\n<\/span>biomass has been exterminated
\nconverted to fine orange dust
\nvia an invasion force of intergalactic
\nend-of-lease style AI\/cyborg crustaceans
\n& follows teenaged survivors
\n<\/span>Stella & Ryan as they seek ways
\non how to stay alive<\/p>\n
\n<\/span>I write this poem about me
\n<\/span>\u2026 in this<\/i> world as an inverse
\n<\/span>to the prompt above \u2014 given
\nevery previous prompt today
\n<\/span>I\u2019ve endeavoured to filter
\nthrough Ryan or Stella\u2019s eyes
\n\u2014 even if it\u2019s not okay<\/p>\n
