Monkeys in
clothes.
Self impressed.
Civilization
created.
Structures
in place.
Scaffolding
to swing
from.
Hold
on to.
Fading
civilization
as was,
now fading.
Religion.
Governance.
Industrialization.
Old
scaffolding
crumbling.
Turning
to dust.
Inflection
point.
New ways
to grasp.
New ways
to think.
New structure.
Technology.
Virtual worlds,
monkeys in
machines.
Transition.
To where?
New worlds.
Virtual worlds.
New thinking.
Machine
thinking.
Monkeys
in an
A.I. world.
Enlightenment.
Who’s
enlightenment?
What
will prevail?
Peaceful
coexistence?
Way
of the
Dodo?
Next step
intelligence.
Infinite
expansion.
No place,
no room
for monkeys
in clothes.

'Way
of the
Dodo?'..
extinction, at the gate
vanity mirror's: in our heads...
(but seriously
how can you look at those big, cute trusting eyes
and not want to write
something sickly sweet and warm
even just,
as a mirage of worded hope...) lol
thanks for sharing, dear poet
Great response LBM. Thank you for reading.I had a different more ominous picture to use but couldn’t resist this one. 🙂
