Would you take heed, if for naught?
Of all your herd, of need you sought to

A person once set out to balance all things. After stacking everything on either side of an enormous scale, there existed two towering piles of perfect equity.

The Count does not have transcendence, so he is Violet, and counts things,

we'll chat the world up,

Are there trees outside the city
that will never die?
and never fall?
and never rot?

and never take over?

Murder will be justified
with words from
a children's book.
These days have numbers.
