Don’t eff with the sky!
It knows your every move
long before your underbrain
cranks up your so-called
consciousness (that arrogant pastiche
of items posted
from yesterday’s Readers’ Digest
of the past millennium’s
news).
From a single swipe
of your DNA
a better you can be constructed
any Tuesday.
Counterfeits abound!
The man or woman
you lay down with last night
may have been cloned
any number of times during the night,
each copy an infinitesimally small
variation of the last.
Joy is in your one hand,
unbearable sadness
in the other, but which
will you unfist?
