this hurts me more than it hurts you

imagine a skeleton
imagine a skeleton
at work
imagine a skeleton
at her desk
in
her cubicle
the framed photo
of
her skeleton wife
and skeleton kids
trying to smile

-----

hieroglyphics
on your keyboard
cave paintings
on your keyboard
the first sharp rock
threw through
the first human neck
on your keyboard

the first ape
to write i love you
with a sharp rock
on the bones of
another
ape

the first atheist
to cry out
oh
science
while cumming
on
your
back

the first robot to
complain
about
capitalism

the first A.I.
to
write a poem
