Fungible Anabiosis
sitting at home eating burgers,
washing them down with miller,
perfectly harmless, in the shell of the house,
won't cause any trouble -
guaranteed.

predictable like a microwave oven,
push the right combination of buttons,
get whatever you put in, properly heated –
nothing is new under fluorescent lamps of the office.

smoking pot, or watching TV,
browsing porn or reading Virgil,
instant self-gratification rules the world,
the world of most natural love and culture of snakeless Eden.

vultures circling the Petri dish –
so much to do and so little to feed on.
