Poem: Devolve

 

Devolve

 

ooze cloyed, soil sloshed,

germ to rex, sex mixers mixing,

swizzled chromosomes, dopey chaos,

hag-ridden gusts, ballets of flakes,

pegasus then fiend, see-thru seizures,

snippets of spliced jump ropes,

pleached plasmid protohounds,

algal dogfights, fungal freak outs,

emerald offshoots, trees varicose,

 

polyps, trilobites, monsters, sharks,

hydras of fanged furry blood

branch branch branch branch

branch branch branch branch

hackles far too aroused, uppity,

kind wise sad happy cruel,

sex sex sex sex

fear fear fear fear

fear to craft fearsome tools,

laughter, song, impalement, war,

god = love, slavery,

heaven, crucifixion, hell, war,

drawn and quartered,

 

slavery, sweatshops,

wipe out whole peoples,

suppress women, slay difference,

deceive deceive deceive,

war war war

despots, dictators, fascists,

avarice makes billions,

trillions, quadrillions, more,

exploit, extinct, consume,

cars, guns, drones, bots,

orgasms in algorithms,

orgasms in modified gene pools,

computerized molecules,

quantum = love,

deathless robot weapons,

boom.
