Dim and Wit were beside themselves

Their Velcro tether had come undone

Dim had no clue as to why and wherefore

Wit waited for something clever to say

The unbinding of Dim and Wit

Had consequences no one foresaw

Dim’s cluelessness spread far and wide

From the highest provinces of power

To the lowest geographies of habitation

Wit’s waiting for something clever

Has not yet been rewarded or answered

The muteness spreads throughout the land

Virally. An end no one had expected
