I Catalyze Cataclysm

[open source]

I am a loose grouping of sensate membranes
filtered thru an architecture of memory and language,
deluded to the point of self-awareness,
grossly expressive via muscle,
and -with technology’s aid- capable of almost anything.
I am a feedback loop, evolution run amok,
tool-maker, geneticist, cancer.
I have not only the audacity to write, but the further audacity to blog.
I am the god and its faithful.
My effect is to inspire awe and terror.
Wild animals flee before me. Forests fall as I wipe my ass with tissue.
I eat ecosystems as an amuse bouche
I destroy! destroy! destroy!
My art betrays the monstrosity of my race.
I apologize to no impact.

This is my favorite of your poems, Robyn. This is "spank me bitch" anarchism at its finest!
