The present forms a line
past ravenous hunters
So I have to use my anthropological credits,
mention our descent from the Bonobo, on that line
and the interbreeding with the "gods", on this line
remains of receipts, origins in original boxes
The family of this one man devolved
his female offspring unsatiated
with exhumed Chinese labor dolls
In a slumped, exhausted posture,
we see the end of the hot item reign
Exchanges far from the cave of nativity
in the future you may have to take
whatever bones you get, no questions asked
while rejecting the bargain brain
in a rush to hoard and purge
searching the paved plains
gathering what we can't give back
