'I only smoke menthol cools.'
or
"The Whites"
I have been there
and seen, what becomes of man.
as the tide goes out to reveal
the dregs at the bottom of the sea.
little more than open sewer
the final form of man
perhaps once supposed destined
to attain the stars
gasping the last, as the cold, the black
of inevitability washes over the white
one last.
never to be again.
we moved forward, breathless, always forward.
to reach the next goal, the next kill, the next territory
our momentum was our blindness, and it carried us
to our unseen demise.
stranded on the beach of fate.
onlookers of history, awkwardly agape
with mild interest, or surprise
at the last gasps, the vanishings of another dying race
on the shores of the garbage dump of time.
our tombstone was a seagull corpse
with a six pack ring around its neck.
and a gmo grapes plastic wrapper
that evaded hungry seaturtles for 5000 miles
to end up here, with us.
the fine print reads "grown in california. packaged in china."
the manufacturers label proudly proclaims in rainbows
"made with pride."
