The Future Is Now

Hubris across the ages,

the ledger stays up tonight.

And this is likely how

this phase will come to be,

billions of people filling up

with hubris,

minds destroyed by

incomprehensible hubris, 

holes punched in paper

giving way in ring binders

full of hubris,

I'm served car crashes,

which are sometimes

anger, or exhaustion,

or distraction,

but mainly they're hubris,

watching, muting,

watching more,

the hole I plug in my phone 

springs a leak somewhere else,

leaking, car crashes,

hubris,

not hope, or redemption

as Kowalski sees a glint

between the bulldozer blades,

smiles to himself,

guns it.
