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.
