idling at the crossroad
perhaps earth herself was responsible
for killing off the dinosaurs
and nothing else
having become disgruntled with the way
they pillaged the land
a select few destroying the lives
of so many others
they shall be reduced to birds of flight
and various reptilian creatures
who will later be named by humans
but only after the latter
would have reached a certain degree
of intelligence
the rest of the story stands before you
idling at the crossroad
the beauty of her diversity at odds
with the human byproduct
the contributions of the artists
the pollution of the cities
capitalism & socialism & pseudo philanthropy
geometry & astrology & poetry
mass murder & social injustice
merry christmas & april fool’s day
december two thousand twenty-one
