Lifelines
during widening
drone strikes
minus the hype
of mass suicide
while getting high
on human cries
beneath deepening
night skies
spouting catastrophe-
inspired feverish
one-liners
flasin ' unclassified
sunshine
against "Evil Empires"
living unbalanced lives
at the levels
of class or even phylum
from sub-lethal
dinosaur times
while ravens cry
for survival
white-blotched
black Y's in the sky
boggling the mind
for seven minutes
precisely
bivalves left and right
in two main types
looking faintly plant-like
at the dawn
of multi-cellular life
almost blind
evenly flying
stealthily on a wing
at high speed...
