Metaverse

Metaverse

A Poem by adornoscousin

Progress mapped onto tombs 

black sarcophagus 

spent like fuel

the vortex is suspended 

at the zenith marking

gasoline rivers that Vespucci never explored

he should have stopped 

turned the boat around

and not named the rocks and canyons

there are no more bullets

and no more batteries 

no more jalopies or gold

the hills are the only metaverse

we will ever need
