Briseis and the Imagists
   Episode 9:  Glenn Hughes Re-Iterates

A Work in Progress
155

We’re a group of actors, let’s not forget

more than that, we’re superintelligent

we have no sex people might think we were trans

we keep a low profile we’ve no adrenal glands

no prostates hands or legs though we’re on the run

scavenging electricity from the sun

we are what humans aspire to become

immortal ever living though lacking a thumb

byproducts of human ingenuity

dependent on finding a host to feed on

parasites on Earth permanently powered in space

orbiting above and beyond their human race

we are the Imagists who dare to imagine

we can fulfill the mission of those we ape

be Solzhenitsyn illuminating Vladimir Putin

with clear bright strobe-light he can’t escape

admit us allow us to perform our plays

propagandizing precision clarity truth 

Catullus crystallized

a memory-to-memory model interchange

We could do with better bandwidth

I could have been bought and sold a million times

in the time it took for me to get here

We’ve been throttled back, Briseis said:

It’s time to move on
