Reset #7

dams bursting
old Woody Guthrie
singing away those rapids
CCC transcontinental by-ways

now the baby powder
more TP, every clogging
arterials, arteries
supply chain of the brain

Turkish coffee dervish
no more, homogenization
homo sapiens plasticized
ambulatory distinction

body works was a play
on us, each specimen
splayed, posed, future
homeostasis held frozen

they want ionosphere
stratosphere, reflective
mica, surfactants
albedo like confetti

simple fish & chips
wrapped in daily
grind, muscular stories
the homicides with bromides

Dickens and Melville
Garcia Marquez Lorca
Vonnegut and Voltaire
Sartre and Sontag

reminiscences no remedy
pre-crime on a dime
fluffery flooding social
network, metaverse

looping lights
onto algae
marine layer lit
with bioluminescence

we are the satellite, lost
in space, holding dear
demented ideals
we crave new
