Hideous insects
[...Urban civilization
which defies everything
time, nature and life
here they are, on the bottom,
incrusted on concrete and steel
intelligent species
of mutant strategies
metamorphosis unexplained...]
In one breath we were at 10000 feet
galloping between the air voids
stomach in turmoil
gazed through the window
the bloodied landscape at dusk
The huge expanse of lights
nearly ten million inhabitants
insectoid humanity
honeycomb, deep nest of termite
the complex techniques of survival
in the many layers of social insects
Urban civilization
which defies everything
time, nature, life
here they are, on the bottom,
incrusted on concrete and steel
intelligent species
of mutant strategies
metamorphosis unexplained
Subdivisions on castes
icy evolutionary traps
biosocial anonymous transformations
shadowy on metallic iridescence
of metropolitan abysses
Meaningless existances
drawled painfully
next ones to each other
lives of spectrum
in the deepest
tissue necrosis
There as elsewhere
dogmatic precepts
of global economy
were eagerly swallowed
for the advent
of a new God
undisputed Master of matter.
