NIGHT BLOOM: A Paean to the Mutant Flowers of Darkness  

	What strange flowers have we fertilized?
	How far has our reckless pollen flown?

	Creatures of the night
	aren't bothered by such questions:

	Those who in Primal Darkness bloom
	relish the bliss of shadows
	& find mirth in gloom.


Don:      (shaking his head) What sort of poem is this?

Aiko:     I sense no love – just a will to power.

Cindy:    It's tragic. Without love, our aspirations are hollow . . . .

Bai-Lou:  It goes further. . . even with "love" our entire existence 
          quickly dissolves into dust.
