total migration


the programmers say it’s a glitch
how the grizzly bears appear
to be walking like egyptians

it was supposed to be a child’s game
but turned into a free-for-all
online competition at an all-time high

some say it’s exactly
what the world needed as unhinged
leaders wage war like never before

the end of the story is never near
though at times the collective psyche
sees the crowd-size fading
