Part II · The South Korea / U.S. Army Era (1997–1999)
Frozen in time and frozen in space,
It’s lack of motion keeps it in place.
Stationary and stagnant in a state of intraction,
Its stillness perpetuates its static inaction.
A random solar wind, just a cosmic breeze,
Disturbs its constant temperature of 0 K degrees.
A chemical reaction begins from deep within,
And bursts of burning brisance break through its cold black skin.
A stalwart sentry of sempiternal senescence,
It stands in silent solemnity.
