Listen, Clever Clogs

It took me many reads to accept "implosion" in the position it's in. I kept thinking the first 4 lines were the implosion, so how is it the only hope? It finally fits together for me, I knew it had to be my own block. Smile

We have a saying about kids in my family: "We don't need no stinkin' geniuses." It's rare, IME, to find a happy one.

This is what happens
when genius forgets itself;
 
when unrepentant clever
forsakes and is forsaken.
 
It's cold outside.
 
The only hope
is in implosion-
 
a Hail Mary
by any name.
