alternative facts: a poetic obituary


                                      Sphinx of the Naxians, Delphi, Museum

all these plastic micro fucking
particles clotting, forming
tumours in my brain,
so hot, no rain

the atmosphere filled
with death and fumes,
the deserti-fuck-ation of
cities, farmland , forest

and lakes, people will take
a fucking vacation in tropical
rain forests and leave there
their garbage, shampoo, bottles,

plastic bags, piss, perfume, their smell,
condoms, hiv, diarrhoea of shit
and of words and things and then 
when all is destroyed, the animals

will creep out of the trees
tired and hungry, they will
enter the villages, eat the
children first, then the old
   
and when they will have eaten
all they’ll cross the Mexican border
and enter the States where
people dry as dried raisins

will gather in washing saloons
to pray to God in the tap,
the light of terror will burst
out from their eyes and

they all have guns but
their rights will be useless,
their guts will open and the
animals will devour their

tasteless flesh, and then hungry
they will attack the cinemas,
the suburbs, Hollywood, Las Vegas,
the fridges and the goldfishes,

the pools of the rich, the famous
hiding under their beds,
slowly killed by grasshoppers, by ants,
cocooned by countless spiders

and when all is done, this God
who is so madly wise will teach
them to digest plastic and
cars, engine oil and  fuel

and he will plant new codes
in plants and guts and the
birds and the few bees
who were crazy enough to live

will spread them across
the world, the birds above
the cities, China in  flames
and pestilences all over

London, Berlin, Paris, fires
and people writhing
with fevers and blisters
of death opening on them,

maggots crawling in their
flesh and skin, and then this
God, so madly wise, will
kill them all with floods
  
and a comet crashing into
the earth, centuries of smoke
and sunless dark, then it
will be finally cold.

and still, the last human
freezing into a statue
will accuse this God:
but he was that God, we were.
