Victoria, BC 6/17
in the city on the edge
roving people gasping in time
filtered through
the cell walls of allegiance
scatter across the sidewalks
pushing pellets of pure rose essence
into diseased mouths
bright eyes bright eyes
as the urban trees sway
the insect overlords watch dispassionately
“the human pit” they call it
flash communication telepathic
THEIR brain sizes augmented
shadows of magnetic waves
oppression
the frequency selection
the shuffling horde below all
discordant masks of the mammals
other creatures prey
on natural selection
