Occasional Impressions

Gemini 3

In time of plague 2

Under threat
throw charity out the window
and attack.

The unimaginable
stands beside you.
Pat yourself on the back
for your wisdom, empathy, sympathy,
your ability to construct, abstract.
Dropped from the trees like a hirsute foetus
you picked up a bone and saw function
and ended up making films about it.
You can see the past and present,
fabricate the future, extrapolate
the workings of the mind from posture.
Sit back in your studies and smile.

But under threat,
throw all this out of the window.
Attack.
