On the left is a close-up image of the sun with solar flares. On the right, a poem Ball of burning sickness Popping, sizzling, crackling tumult Searing cyclones of flames A tangled mass of crossed wires Alive in my gut All the day long, I emote "Good morning" And I smile "Have a great day" While containing a conflagrant doom Now, don't worry I've trained all my life for this It's a violent form of survival Leftover char from firestorms past Acts as insulation Protecting the world from an eruption of me J.
