progress (tm) a self-cannibalizing snake

(after the coyotes ate the messiah’s carcass,
and the nuns sold his teeth as nfts…)

capitalism’s ai is a scared dog,
licking its own vomit of ‘growth’
while the algorithm feeds it more
and calls it ‘soul.’

the buddha was a broke prince
who traded his crown for a begging bowl,
and the lama met with
the famous
mighty
epstein.
now we trade data for dopamine
and call it ‘mindfulness.’

science says the universe is 95% dark matter,
and your boss acts like he owns all of it.
the void laughs in quantum
and bills you for the sound.

meditate on this:
your anxiety is ancient,
your wi-fi password is ‘suffering,’
the router is on fire.

the only ‘enlightenment’ left
is realizing no one’s coming to save you,
(not even the coyotes)
and that’s the only fact-king dharma.

this is my open-source
karma.
steal it,
meme it,
let the algorithm choke on its own teeth.
the snake eats itself; we starve it faster.
or has it already swallowed us whole?
kids, pets, the lake, the forest and all our beloved
hero
adults?
