In the sawdust heart
\nof a puppet world,
\nwhere haughty Celia
\ningloriously sits,
\nher failed prophecy
\nis buried by time,
\nperverted by history,
\ndisplaced and forgot
\nlike a lost memorial
\nto the living dark.
\nOh yes, Celia shits,
\nthe summit of it all,
\nwatered by the kind
\nreverence of the blind.<\/font><\/strong>
