“I can lose my ego better than you”
-Cliff Anderson

what silly
animals humans are
believing they are One
singular  when we are
a concrescence of multitudes
our singled celled colonies
build vast slippery cities 
with complex employments
frictionless politics and a
miraculous ecstatic
exchange between
exogenous and endogenous
with never a moralizing 
self satisfied voice
declaring

This is enlightenment
but certainly
not that!

ahhhhh... utopia !!!!  ain't it grande - don't confuse me with information.........

I've been wanting to write a poem built on imagery that comments on what constitutes supposed societal function and dysfunction. Glad you did it.
