Mac Meta-physicians

and

Tight as a Top

Mac Meta-physicians


A young doc decades ago
I cared for tattered remnants returned to sender
from Jonestown's blood sky mirage
to Oakland's pea soup gray.


Jim Jones or Jesus,
Buddha or David Koresh --
how to tell Kool Aid from Communion,
Sarnath from Waco?


How do we know corrupted software?
Which Adam and Eve have first-aid chips
implanted behind eyeballs
to deworm lousy Apples?




Tight As A Top


Do
you
ever
wonder
beyond
opposable thumbs
and facile tongues
what makes us human?

Use your heartbeats wisely.
Drop down and in.
Slow the rhythm.
Be at peace.
Single task
midweek.
Relax…
Sure.


Gerard Sarnat
