DRONE ON

DRONE ON

drone on
drone on

meanwhile something
is screaming
from
Orwell’s grave

buzz buzz
something is
writhing
on Airstrip One
six feet under

terrible the agony
of a realized prediction
the text
      meant as satire become
seer’s prediction

the text on this headstone
rewiring itself, mutating,
changing fast
as share prices

what was once
envisaged and
received
as far-
fetched dysopia
now
    in clear
death spiral, cavorting
with extinction

the demise of the rationality
to see and believe

and you
with your
      unique way
with words

insisting this is the way
sole species solution

to grasp that power
we gave to the heavens
we
   ascribed to the cosmos

to rebuild everything in
singular
   one
supreme image

droning on
droning on
         (what left of
your intelligence
at best artificial)

inside
and ouside (both)

something is screaming
from George Orwell’s grave
