Memetic Science for Poets
What of memes and photons?
Is there a quantum language?
Having grown up on the Martian Chronicles
and Star Wars, can I expect less from my government
wherever and whatever it may be?
Templar bankers plot with Merovingian rock stars on-line
while Arab grocers hack and complain "No Can Do"
in the streets of Baghdad
Ghosts of Alexandria visit poets in San Francisco
wondering "has the desert arrived yet?"
the answer came "after the haiku is read"
the Mayans are coming, the fat lady will sing
Asperger's geeks are at their computers
creating meme-structures like a fancy spiderweb across the sky.
Earth sails across the photon band
random photons fall together in new patterns
Quantum poetry arranging itself
in gathered response to autistic thought waves
Practitioners of memetic science gather their best rituals to share
their images recall the universal tarot, the major arcana
we call them shamans, wounded beyond recognition
we disguise them in the garb of poets and architects and musicians.
The newest megameme emerges and spreads.
