We'll some day laugh about the backward
impossible consciousness that must have existed
for us to exist now, in this way that is so wonderful,
so co-existing and without compromise to quality
of life, so natural and mighty and full of integrity;
the past some backward echo of humanity
unanimously forgotten about.
Like the third war hitting
Like the third war creating new trenches,
new pools of disease, new types of injury.
And its destruction
leaving us alive
with a third kind.
A distant familiarity
some notion of a singularity
back when science was still trying to find
the one true subatomic god
Trying to find some big bang and missing out on the orgy
Like trying to find the space between ova and sperm
Like looking at our world and seeing a planet
not an organism. Seeing the sun, not light
We ought to accept we come from a place of darkness
Action insists on reaction
Consciousness creates action
Existence is a spectrum, and every
aspect of the spectrum functions in duality
Functions as earth culture
Earth culture when we dance on the graves of our lovers
when we dance with their spirits-alive and not fear death,
these days living our whole lives just to give ourselves
a sterile and kind death
Earth culture when we no longer see gender like
the ignorant and bold might say they no longer see race...
or care
Earth culture when we are human
against the asteroid
I will drown in shallow water
I will choke on clean, pure air
I'll have the surgery long before its due
let the doctors fuck me up
let the doctors prescribe me some profit margin
let all the Medicine People give me things
unnecessary and irreversible
Let the doctors visit earth culture
Earth culture when fractals are taught in preschool
Earth culture when my brave new world is rude and awakening
And especially when the night sky replaces the television,
which had previously replaced the night sky
When promises are negative affirmations
because promises sound compromise
Earth culture when there's no culture left
Some day we'll laugh about meanginglessness
we all share with integrity today.
