Plight Trajectory

Youth passes in fleeting doses, and doesn’t die a single death, youth as concept and cheat code disassembles into ghosts, into many ghosts which proliferate and spread, in pursuit of seances and possession. Youth, in its death, moves in many directions at once, it becomes a horde of hungry wanderers, a cadre of bottomless-feeding ghosts, youth, in its dying, screams for mirrors of any and all kinds to substantiate unverified crises, to metamorphosize them.
