Bodies and Machines

Animals

armed with scales and skin,
feathers and bones
alive
equipped with blood, brains
lungs and hearts.
Warmth
touch
sensation
elation
emotions
thoughts
interactions
words

Survive
Instincts
Basic needs
Birthrights

Animals evolve
create, copulate
urges to expand, grow, inflate

Primate
Human
sentient, aware
separate but equal
above all others
we are
the heirs
infected
fighting
the fittest
expectations
entitlement
greed
money, consumption, power
war bomb
disassembling, deconstructing
bodies

GodScience
white light,
light white
white. white. white.
bright exposure
making bodies transparent x-rays
purifying
computers
dissecting
bodies

no questions
no thoughts
no feelings
no sentiments
just mechanical bodies
well functioning
oiled machines

Androids
