The Noon Multiverse will continue
multiversing as I sail
with a snail in in a saltine glass
awaiting sapiens to realize
evolution has spun off-hinge
as “survival of the fittest”
has been replaced with
“survival of the most technologically adaptive”—
a void within an abyss—
evolution spun with flights of false fancy—
abstractions of abstractions of abstractions.
I’ll never forget the words “no logic”
are used to build the words “technologically aloof.”
