cephalopod dreams

we are cavemen
in brooks brothers suits
or maybe pterodactyls––

our brains are older
than the ice ages––
related to the eryops
& the cephalopod––

there is so much to eat here––
but still we are very
insecure––

it’s time to adjust
to plastic hearts
to metal bowels
& limbs

it’s time for our brains
to change––

to know what
buddha knew
& calm our souls––

we have reached the end
of the age of flesh

we are/i am
an über brain
still trying to find
a happily ever after––

or maybe only the wisdom
to be free
from suffering
