Noisebands and spokenword poets
pouring out a cacophony of sound
metaphors hogtied to metaphors
dragging flesh behind a spaceship
the hollow tubes; the pressure
the deflating castration of
the “galactic viewpoint” rendering
all empty and superfluous like
murderous earthslides earthshakes
heartquakes brainbreaks extinction
of a #1 seeded species suddenly
expelled-aborted “knocked out” into
obliterating extinction (will a fossil
imprint even remain?) while
our children’s grandchildren will live
forever in an organ-controlled
casket keeping brains alive so
they can “telepathically control
avatars in a virtual reality their
descendants visit daily like
kneeling before our personal
d.i.y. altar to the dead as
prescribed by Azteck witch-
physicians MDDDS
all of it beautiful and
imploding with meaningful ever-resurrecting connotations
