RITES
THE LAST RITES OF SPRING
Scientists have found evidence of a
hypothetical fish: Metaspriggina
Fossilized 505 million yrs. ago
This fish is the missing piece of the
puzzle The transformation of plankton
slurpers into predators with jaws
Who foresaw that the humanpuzzle
would include a morph from arrowheads to
assault rifles? (coined by Adolf Hitler)
Nobody expected to find such an animal
said Simon Conway Morris (U of Cambridge)
speaking of the fish Evolving a jaw is just one
of the really great breakthroughs in the history of life
So has the human conscience grown hypothetical?
Or just turned deeply pathological How about the
evolution of the M-16 or the virginity tests of the
wretched Arab Spring? Yesterday in Tahrir Square
a mob-rape took place & produced a shocking YOUTUBE
Reports of badnews are censored in Egypt: Well they are happy
The people are having fun (female tv host State Media)
While here in Canada another Spring pageant is underway
High school graduation & PROM Smells like purity Are they
even aware of their liberties? Or perhaps lulled into complacency
by: hypothetical futures hypothetical Peace on hypothetical Earth

Dinosauria, We
born into this dying because of this fooled by this used by this pissed on by this
made crazy and sick by this made violent made inhuman by this the heart is
blackened the fingers reach for the throat the gun the knife the bomb the fingers
reach toward an unresponsive god we are born into this sorrowful deadliness
castrated debauched disinherited
Charles Bukowski 1992
