The tintinnabulation of popping sparks
brought life to the fireplace,
but, eventually, everything becomes engulfed
by the pressure of the flames
and the embers settle.

Don’t be stuck inside when the fire
runs low, and you’re fed up of tending
to the inevitable decline.
Your arms grow tired, and
Gas prices grow higher

Get out before time runs out.
Spin around and blow bubbles—
calico ones, ones that don’t pop under pressure.
Do the impossible, because under enough pressure,
even graphite can turn into diamonds

So bibbityboppityboop,
here’s a carriage to ride away in,
instead of being held back
by the pressure of having to tend
to those flames that died light-years ago.
