a drop
of vantablack ink
suspended
on an earth
of bright blue water.
the politics of tight water-molecule bonds
abhor
every proton, nucleus & electron,
of every black atom.
vantablack ink
can never bond with water;
the earth remains blue.
slowly,
the scheming brilliance
shines through:
vantablack ink cannot spread any more.
vantablack ink is dissolving.
vantablack ink is no more.
from the next minute
to
the last second of holy demolition,
a zillion blue children
learn the ways of the water.
vantablack ink is never mentioned;
vantablack ink
was never there.
