# SURRENDER

 Wake up, Pate, the machine has you. No matter, 
the war is yet to be lost. Raise your towers
and fly the banner. Skip along the rocks made
of broken bits. Surrender or not:
 The machine has you.

 Prove your worth, slay the gremlin, grow
your garden grander, build your walls taller.
The yellow on the tip of your fingernail
reminds us all:
 The machine has you.

 So, wake up, Pate, save us all from
your nightmare.

 Pate?
