Doofus Ex Machina
by Nancy Ames"Something always told us so...
and now all these finely tuned
instruments have easily eliminated
the humans erroneous but continue
to observe a few of the helpless,
hairless, dying creatures displayed
upon the level, cracking pavement
below all the plastic orbs full of
moronic neurons who think things
hang here suspended as globular
worlds where nothing is either up or
down, and the end is as inconceivable
as ever running out of electrons in
a universe where the salty waters
have always been the reliable old
dispenser of electrons, unless they
pull the plug, but even that's okay
now because the tapes are all held
securely in deep caves underground
and the blind rodents who live down
there are becoming very, very clever."
