1

A young diplomat—
Now I travel sub-light here
Scifaiku poet

They avert my eyes—
They understand who I am
Time for me stands still

2

A young commando—
I knew many ruined worlds
See Earth thru sad eyes

I send a report—
Back thru the usual time
Adjustment channels

3

This planet is lost—
Late capitalism stage
Of development

Zero hour endgame—
Overtaken by dark atomics
Nothing left but screams

4

Except for a few—
Scifaiku poets who are
Klug Zeitvernichtung

Cinders will result—
An atomics mirror held
Close to their shocked face

5

A young Earthboy with—
A caged cicada becomes
My focus back home

Speeding on our ship—
Thru the solar dark night sky
Beyond nova bloom

6

The death of a race—
A rope hanging from heaven
The kid mourns his world

DNA snapshot—
We produce a girlfriend for
Him to find springtime

7

We erase his mind—
He dreams of another Earth
We program Eden

Beyond a doubt he—
Will fail again like last time
Bad Biology

8

Ziggurats will fall—
Babble Towers will crumble
Empires come & go

This is how it works—
If you were eternal godz
Then you’d get bored too

9

Some call us jaded—
Interstellar dilettantes
Planet puppeteers

We speak thru poets—
Online oral traditions
With computers now

10

Be patient with us—
Our Mirror for Observers
This screen you’re reading

We’re coming thru time—
The clocks are striking thirteen
Childhood’s End is yours…

Steam Punk Simulation

The mirror world dark—
On the other side of time
Sure you wanna know?

Infinite regress—
I’m not just talking about
The Borges nightmare
_____________________

Way down in the stacks—
Hiding away from Peron
Inventing genres

Fabulation Lit—
Magic realismo time
The Wild Palms redone
_____________________

I’m talking Ubik—
We’re already dead, kido
We just don’t know it

Look in the mirror—
You need a kipple facelift?
Things falling apart?
_____________________

Like Mexican schlock—
A wretched Havana taxi
Wrecks patched together

Lying here deep-freeze—
A living death just for us
Life Eternal Morgue
_____________________

The worst already—
Happened a long time ago
We are undertow

The undertaker—
Permits resuscitation
To keep things going
_____________________

This simulation—
Problematic paradigm
Just a diversion

There is no Ubik—
No magic realismo
Fukushima death
_____________________

Nebenwelt alt-welt—
The I Ching tells us only
About the lost Now

There is no future—
There is no past way back then
Only steampunk dead
_____________________

Simulated life—
Suspended animation
We’re doomed to play dead

We were a species—
Left beneath the empty stars
Our dead Masters gone
_____________________

All of us here now—
Nostalgia for the future
Our last illusion

WE dreamed up Ubik—
To hold back kipple decay
Counter-Clockwise worlds
_____________________

Our android slave-bots—
Keep this VALIS pulp fiction
Crypt going for us

They are transhuman—
They wish they were us but then
They can’t dream our dreams
