Goodbye

 Goodbye to stick fights in suburban streets.

Goodbye to fireflies, childhood lies, and open skies.

Goodbye to twilight travels,

guided only by mystic moonlight.


Goodbye to the temporal entrapment,

unfolding our genetic rapture.


Goodbye to all things,
Gone and Good,
Young and Wild,
Real and Fleeting.

Greetings, to the descent of our species.
Down may be up,
up may be down,
either way we are diving deeper into materiality.

Uploading oscillating brains,
splicing inter-species genomes,
Implanting nano and macro machines,
Concocting drugs to create eternal dreams.

I have felt the waves of the guiding current,
that all surges and recessions,
move with a greater wisdom,
toward our greater fulfillment,

and yet,
I want no part of what I see,
By no means, a judgement,
just an understanding it is not for me.

I'd rather find a plot,
and grow some beans,
spending my days,
however I please.
