by the time you read this (if)
dream animal all ravenous mouths
your teeth already tearing –
if america’s devoured, the world will follow
as the last cowboy falls from the screen
a greater dream will wake us, complete
surveillance, rule by ramshackle
machiavellians, in the search for the great
simulacrum the great satan wailing
ai ai ai to emulate and infinitely exceed
the dear pathetic intelligence we call human
and then dumb night can come and from this
planet a shadow creep to blot the stars
