ALONE

watch your hair brother sister
solar flare

gosh I hope it didn’t
tech disconnect you
total extinct you

you (we all) and
the dinosaurs in
the same boat
(leaky inflatable — no
    divinely commissioned Ark)

but we changing so fast
hard to keep pace with everything
maybe (insert fanfare) we
going to
        go transcendent, quantum
leap evolve

long before you have meandered
through this stream of meaning
our AI cultivating a pastoral paradise
utopia
      in every
          sense of the word

so do your best to stay
the course: resist distraction,
ignore temptation

do not
      fly off at an tangent (to test
your suddenly splendid wings)

leaving me
            in the shallow end

leaving me grounded

meister of a few trite rhymes
alone at absolute zero
            somehow my destiny
(give a take
            a parsec of
            true cosmic irony)
