Re: Prophecy
They said when the world was supposed to end,
something will be said about an extreme advance in knowledge,
& then again nobody saw Britannica past 1987,
but here we are, in some ether net Encyclopedia Encarta,
today’s mutation some amalgamation & email magna carta,
smarta, lava hearted, born cold in car harts, not much
unlike Sparta, caritas out the window, fords and fondas
honking Hondas fighting for open roads, a dozen cloves
and twelve frozen loaves of raisin bread saying,
fuck if I know which god said we deserved this
but we do, carrying on, Daphne a menstruating bull
dangling fruit baskets over empty wells
to seduce those who might as well be better off hungry
david taking down goliath, when
goliath did a pretty good job at taking down himself.
Once stubbing his toe three times in three minutes
looking for the television remote while trying
to make david look smaller for having lost it,
a dolt was an undeserved nickname given
to the electric, gargoyle like halfback for the hawks
or the cougars, whatever team denied themselves
being the underdog, undereducated on methods of victory
the one to live and exist on the balancing certainty of hope,
the hero decided when the clock ran low
savoring asymptotic, each step toward zero
the catwalk to oblivion perfectly aligned.
What do you think are our odds of getting
all the gold medals?
