No poppies blow, they faded long ago,

in potter’s field with paupers, job-seekers,

kicked to the curb by bigcorp motorcades.

Brands grow strands of web that loop the planet.

Tiny spider-peeps make raids with tiny lasers:

crap terraforming, global bad positioning.

They uplift the love of Wintermute and feed it

to a novabomb that irradiates the quantum:

our big dumb object beamed from outer space,

each sarcophagus built by a civilisation gone.

So we cling to a death-star collapsium,

our heartbeats those of bug-eyed monsters.

An earthling’s cooee echoes under ruptured crust.

We live for earth’s breath, like the wind, the dust.
