Hunchbach (redux)

it seemed to him at last
that many of the citizens
may have unwittingly settled
on a form of mutant
or 'libidinal investment'
in the various sad
primate ideologies
which had long confused
the ancient bacterial
civicolonial assemblage
lineages of their isolated
and cosmic bodies

you can easily imagine
wearing a bovine pelvis
for a helmet
and mistaking a pop song
for your lover's embrace
