cities grow outward
like angry amoeba —
false-feet stretching down
the motorway corridors,
and developing tumors
that will metastasize
into cities of their own,
sprawling until they span
the global petri dish

“I’m tired of this back-slapping
“Isn’t humanity neat?” bullshit.
We’re a virus with shoes, okay?
That’s all we are.”
– Bill Hicks
