the new genes...

the new genes
are dividing
behind the eye

the pupil aches
like a gum

diverging things
are merging
and curving like corners
on credit cards

this town is a clone
of that town
which is only a tone
on the phone of a clown
who is a hooded courtier
in the new court
that is a cinema
and a supermarket

the new genes
are dividing
behind the eye

the pupil swells
like a gum

agents consult agents
about research agencies
intermediaries ooze
through cracks and channels
in media space-time
which expands
employing talons
and ravenous keyboards
to consult and consume
its own hands

until everyone
and everything is an artist
and there is no art

the new genes
are dividing
behind the eye

a new tooth
pushes through
the pupil
that is also a gum
