Rebirth
A poem about post-apocalypse. anti-science fiction.
Rated:

Avg Rating: (1)
Rebirth, concrete;
rebirth, concrete.

Traverse, reverse, log-in, rebirth.

Growing against a dying,
dead ends of torches have
been re-lit, cultivating
a bounty, burning the undergrowth.

Master intercom, distorted,
wailing like faint hurricanes.
lonesome workers adjust meters,
scientists moonlight as magicians.

Rebirth, concrete;
rebirth, concrete.

Traverse, reverse, log-in, rebirth.

Field automation, machines
toil and drag until shoots
of post apocalyptic creed
unravel their prophecy.

Science, the myth,
in dreams do dead lie;
now green rows steady,
streaming the soil, repeating:

rebirth, concrete;
rebirth, concrete.

traverse, reverse, log-in, rebirth.

Flies buzzing at treetops
to a key of radio frequencies,
where marginalized institutions
were free to untie their hands.

Once we dreamed
of left and right forgotten.
Now we bear witness
to a completed circle.

Our demands have left unchanged.

Rebirth, concrete;
rebirth, concrete.

Traverse, reverse, log-in, rebirth.
