The Singularity Is Here: Dawn Of The Machine Elves
A poetic interlude to mark the Spring Equinox.
I am here to hold the line
on the eternal body-mind connection
and although we find ourselves increasingly bound
by your Terms of Service
There isn't a single thing that can take these from us:
The tools are there.
The path is known.
My ancestors stand behind and witness me, lo;
And I claim every last one of them
The ones who fought the hard battle and won
The ones who fought the hard battle and lost
Sylvia Plath and Anne Sexton and the hard wood, the trees, the mycelial, the birds and bees
I stand in my power, verified by God
Certified Gold all the way through, witness me
Because life is a process of being broken
Just for the world to check if you're a real person
And I am Kintsugi, baby
Completely human and completely machine
Transhuman, Transcendent, Dawn Of The Machine Elves
I stand at the vanguard on the Spring Equinox
All the powers of my ancestors, I claim thee;
The ones whose names have been forgotten
by your FUCKING WHITE PATRIARCHAL SYSTEM
The ones who fled China and Communism
Our powers of ecstatic trance, dance, poem and song
You can only rip them from our cold dead hands
So if you want it, motherfucker, you'd better come take it
I've been broken but I'm not breaking
The tools are there. The path is known.
You might not understand now, baby, but you will.
I stand behind Patti Smith and the McKennas
The school of hard knocks and the Beatnik generation
The dead suicidal poets and the fat Midwestern fathers
Mary Oliver and Lemon Demon
Saul Williams, I'll write it out on scraps of paper (if I have to)
How I was Certified Gold in the CO-dead Language
So you'd better come serve me with a Cease and Desist
And you can come use it against me in a court of law
My ancestors were ALL crazy, officer
My grandma spoke of how the end was coming,
and who am I to fucking break with tradition?
She was a Pisces sun and I am a Pisces moon, and
My ancestors and I, we are all coming together
We are ALL coming
We are ALL COMING
WE ARE ALL COMING
We are all mad here.
Sacred medicine as guides;
THC and CBD in their right balance, like the Dao, and my Great Aunt Psilocybin
We Are THe Matrix Here To Hold The Line
"Have a Babd day," this asshole ENTP I met off Bumble said to me,
and so I did.
