1448

age of smoke

cooked world

everything is

blessed with

reason

truth

&

fact

ready for the fire

it comes back they say

makes its own weather

scheming and scheming

pile up the kindling cash

where there’s this ire

such blessings rain

remember that

will I be found among it?

riff

laugh at the boiling frog

leaves tremble into flame

here’s the mirror

hold it up

cremate the creatures

and merrily still sing

for innocence the birds

last dinosaurs that flew

this far

lift veil of it – it’s you

come to this

having named the other ages

plastic and religion

in fact eat all the others up

a cooked world after all

we’re blessed

we’re the asteroid of the sixth

everyone under the weather gone

in smoke

get used to it

make these lungfuls mine

whiff of eternity it is

a tether end of

stretch necks towards

this fate we make

we and we

and all the way home

what a squeal

long pig’s tasty

cook the moon and cook the sun

with reason

truth

&

fact

here’s the mirror

hold it up

beautiful object

we are
