Donal Goes Ahead

for intelligence

among factoids

fragments of humanity

real and digital

ahead will be monsters

classical contemporary 

learned from literature deep in archives

where Indo-European monsters were once described

thunder will roll and rain will slash tents

in the forests of Gaul

waiting at the meeting stone

it will be called hereafter

where humanity awaits Caesar’s approach

marching through Gaul

laying waste

to all

where humanity arms itself with javelins

has sharp pointed probes 

insufficient to slay cyber hounds

to slay cyber hounds

greater intelligence is needed

so Donal goes ahead
