Man After Man

How far we'd go
For something to eat
Battery humans
The farm and the meat
How long it's been
We no longer know
Mountains of flesh
We take as it grows
Man after man
Oversized
Disfigured
Engineered
Food creature
Fed to breed more
Bred to feed more

Plume on Europa

There’s a plume on Europa
Where we could start over
We could climb up there
On a big space ladder
They’d have built it by now
But they couldn’t agree
To build it in Moscow
Or Washington DC
There's a plume on Europa
Where we could start over
Watch Jupiter rise
While we fuck in the rover
If the ladder falls through
I’ll build you a ship
We can take Elon Musk
Along for the trip
We could fly up there
With a fusion reactor
If the lizards in charge
Would stop holding back NASA
There's a plume on Europa
Where we could start over
Watch Jupiter rise
While we fuck in the rover
There's a plume on Europa
Where we could start over
If we drill through the ice
Without killing the fauna
There's a plume on Europa
Where we could start over
If they’d increase our funding
This coming October
There's a plume
On a moon

The Bait
01:19

The machine lumbered into view, and with each giant step we heard thunder crack, and felt a seismic shift beneath our feet.
I’d seen it before, once when I was very young. We’d both grown since then.
The general mass was sluggish but I knew it’s two sets of forearms were nimble enough to pluck sparrows from mid air. A network of even smaller, hair-like arms carried scrap metal and human remains up, over, and inside its carapace. There must be a web of tubes inside, sending pieces and parts all over; like veins without a heart. Spoils of war to absorb and assimilate.
The two of us stood facing west in front of a heap of scrap metal; anything our village could cobble together.
The bait was set.

Lube the Cube

To make it on the list
We need a quicker twist
To be the Rubik's master
We need to spin it faster
There's one thing we can do;
Lube the cube
I feel the friction burn
We need a faster turn
A sharp increase in speed
Is what we really need
There's one thing we can do;
Lube the cube
Up, Down, Left, Right
Up, Down, Left, Right
Up, Down, Left, Right
Up, Down, Left, Right

Set to Stun

He lifted his hand
And with one human eye
He examined the steel
He’d grown to despise
Unfeeling machine
No mercy, no love
A cyborg seeking vengeance
And blood
Hand on is holster
He kicked down the door
Locked eyes with his brother
And proceeded to draw
A crackle of static
And a thunderous sound
Filled the saloon
As the men hit the ground
His leg felt like sand
And his eye felt like glue
But he managed to stand
And his brother did too
The lone ranger stirred
And inspected his gun
Their baryonic phasers
Were both set to stun
