a second space age
The optimum population is modelled on the iceberg- eight-ninths below the water line, one-ninth above” – Huxley- Brave New World
What is to come
as in what is the becoming of us
the whirring world grits its teeth
in the fly wheel – bare fanged
elements deflect with fur and silver foil
before our eyes populations
fizzle
pop and
p olariz e
into a tail spin
dives
the
tick-tock
continuum
narcissists are all dead-heading echo systems
come and meet disaster at anarchy’s triumphal arch
fecund to the core burrowing masses penetrate
a black and worm holed Janus looks beyond
witness s p a c e whip up a premier league of sales
Oh age of momentous miniaturisation
small is the new orange
