Howl 2.0
(Published in Andromenda Spaceways Inflight Magazine)
I saw the best minds of my clone tank destroyed
By madness of the Belatrin war bombs,
Dragging their robotic enhancements through the angry
Streets of war-torn New Mars
Looking for a heavy metal fix to bind
Spinning time fragments.
Angleheaded clipsters praying Siirian crab prayers
And eating the gism of the Aldebrian worm
Ejected from the brain mills
For downloading Blake
Or uploading Burroughs or S'ssitiran
Dancing with burned out skull jacks
Smoking from forbidden 5D programs
Broadcast across the "Neutral Zone."
Where have wandered of creatures of my slightly-enhanced DNA, with limbs that have the best machining of a the thousand worlds?
Why did you inherit my desire to know the Terror
In the skull next door or in the Universe down the Block
Where are they in their ten credit a night coffin hotels
Where in the burned-out rockets
Drifting toward a solar death
Trapped in Belatrin camps
Or in our "voluntary" experimental units
Shocked by mind-bombs ten times, twenty times, fifty times , , ,
