lighter than heir

30 August 2021
p0sthuman: the evening before p.19f

parachuted
into the present
straight away I

check out the
talent
(yeah, they’d said,

don’t imagine you’ll
be in a super mall
when you resolve

naked in front
of surprised
shoppers)

so the dark horse says,
well, hello horse,
(aargh, I think, I

thought I would
at least
be human

but there’s this
black horse sidling
up to me, nuzzling…)

hello gorgeous
hello stranger
it’s strangely

disconcerting
but it’s the work
of a moment to be

the hot horse
I truly am
in my present

tense (it’s no good
thinking, once
I was a god

in the preexisting
age
of gods,

it’s better to be
a horse being
penetrated by another horse

right now
albeit
but briefly

than a genius
empty of flesh
and filled

with infinite time
on the in
side

and no
outside
to speak of)
