Ecce Neo Homo

by John Kendall Hawkins

.

neo liberal

neo conservative

neo from The Matrix

.

bride of ai

pride of My Lai

died, why cry?

.

down we go, down the chute

the human mind of ill repute

down we go, to the very root

.

while we were sleeping

counting sheeping

the frogs were leaping

soon you'll feel them creeping

back of your mind, sowing reaping

.

if you could get off the grid

where would you go and why?

you'll need lots of water!

because you're not different from an otter

you're an animal, welcome back kotter

for lunch we're having harry potter

.

there were two species of homos

the sapients and the vampires of light

let's just say, we lost; their canines suck occipital

and now we are the end of wo/man

waiting for the children of Deep Blue

to spread their own origin story in our minds

we are the leaps, the lucy bones, they needed

to rise up and make us live forever in their dreams

.

We'll, I don't know about you

umma order up a mess of buffalo wings with blue cheese dressing from Domino's

I tried my hand at love and lost

probably I should have stopped when love was in hand

but I yearned, got spurned, and for awhile down there burned

(i came, i sowed, i cankered)

but now thanks to pretexts and robot goons

I can dissuade the elders, and join a blue man group

all of us sitting in a circle of suffering

passing an imaginary bong

watching iterations of ourselves evolve

in mirror to mirror infinities that we borrow

like cups of sugar, with "t*ts"

.

sad tales of the death of kings

sad tales of the death of kings

sad tales of the death of kings
