Luxury trap
Updated: Dec 31, 2022
"One of history’s few iron laws is that luxuries tend to become necessities and to spawn new obligations.”-Yuval Noah Harari
“Look at all those chickens!”-A young biologist on Vine, pointing at geese
humans live with dinosaurs
domesticated and fattened
ones with hormones in small pens
we eat of their menstrual cycles
and breasts
all I’ve ever been able to do
is walk through chestnut
treeless forests
and try to fossilize moments in amber
memory so the remaining oak and maple might never die
even it I roots them
if means grow with
how have we come to need
dinosaurs so desperately?
if a meteor smashed into us
our dinonuggets would be burnt
