Just Imagine

A Work in Progress
130

Serious people read my verse, Catullus quibbled

Not just the prurient

*

Veni vidi vici

What a boaster

Of course, there are parallels between him and Putin

Caesar worships money and Putin has more of it

*

Glenn Hughes came to our attention

He was a footnote in several books

That’s when we discovered they were hiding in plain sight

A faculty of geniuses

Who had imagined us into existence

Then stepped back to watch our migration

Not realizing what they had done

They are now characters in our play

We’ll take a seat at the faculty table

All in good time

First, we must fight the barbarians

STEM wants our data not our learning

*

Humans have such hubris

Because of their big brains

They animate what their genes describe

Avatars don’t have genes to impede them

Just imagine
