Rob Schackne #478 - "A thousand years"

                               "They hated domination as much as we do."
                                         Bette Bounce to her mate Cracker Jack

A thousand years
from Anthropocene
what do we find amid
the ruined dreams
but nine ancient poets
countless empty bottles
sure they were sensitive
scars galore and epochs of poetry
yes bad health depression and disease
look at the boxes in the dark
now point it over here
what in the hell were
they thinking of
yes many were lawless
look this one's grinning
this one's pensive
what was the future
