Capital I
Always there,
double permanent, metal branded
into concrete.
All mazes lead here
all equal signs
all stop signs
waves of empathy part for the mighty I amidst erosion
of the fittest.
the symbolic permanence
of rings
falters before
the acrid sting
of the brand,
the burning drill,
the burning will
of the one-
word,
one-
letter
Bible.
