Cat-Scan Hist'Ry |
Moving back into the underworld |
Nothing new can tell you how old you are |
Or what’s planned |
Burn land, drought land |
Animals sink, animals stand |
Soon to be divided, dispersed, flags unfurled |
New lines drawn on the world |
Sink pitch in tar, pour silicone rubber into the mould of the rock |
Pull the model of its fossil, a gone-by friend |
From the stone matrix to the brain case |
Its death a computer graph of an unseen hand |
Come fifty million years to a cat-scan |
Face unknown, technology at a loss to explain a fever |
Every bone in your arm revealed to the future as his |
Shade of a notion, the ghost of a plan |
To give up finally, in ourselves, the haunt of man |
Burn land, drought land |
Animals sink, animals stand |
