We can touch

the brink

of Heaven

and send the machine

to plummet

into the heart of Saturn,

to break our bondage

and be more than just humanity

as Cassini

sends clouds scattering,

yet

we can descend

so low,

to plough the very depths

of Hell

as we think

that

the madness of machine

Armageddon

is somehow suitable

a threat

to contain

two mad men.
