INTERNALWARE.

Listen, did your hear that over
There: that guy, geezer, bloke, chap,
Woman, whatever you consider appropriate.
It opened its mouth, maw, its over bitten
Face and spoke with a voice that it has never
Heard before (only occasionally when it
Calls its own answer phone and
Registers)
And said something absolutely forgettable.
Obviously it thought it had weight and
Wisdom and meaning behind its words,
But, from my vantage point of abstinence,
It sounded like a wearing away noise.
Maybe something relevant to it, but
Ultimately without significance. Less
In fact than silence. Undeniably the creature
Has intelligence – carrying the inherited
Genes of 30, 50, 80 (who really knows)
Thousand years of misspent evolution,
But to what use is this revelation.
It must really stick in the craw of Father
Time and Mother Nature that their ill
Conceived bastard offspring
Should turn out so…human. They, along with
God must share the blame for churning out
Something as vacuous as this in their image.
Or, maybe they were Neanderthal looking
Mother fuckers all along, and a hairless
Lucifer threw his spanner into the genome…
But then again he looks like a goat,
Doesn’t he…?
