The first butterflies
came forth upon the earth screaming
and crashing about them with gigantic
clubs. It was they
who fucked the dinosaurs
and the dinosaurs didn't like it
one bit but they gave birth to the birds
that outlived them. When the dinosaurs saw
the birds
they gurgled and cooed in sheer disarmed
admiration, their baser instincts lulled
by these peepy-cheepers and fuck-awe
eagles and shit. "The future's in good
wings." The dinosaurs sagely nodded.
"Time to die. Thanks, butterflies! Hey
there's a meteor!"
While the butterflies meanwhile, unabated
in their fluttering rampage next strapped
apes to high-tension lines with high-voltage
cables and it boosted the apes like mad.
Convulsions and psychosis. The result
was a lot of twitchy, mad apes
who killed all that kind of butterfly
- the dangerous kind - by systematic
application of butterfly-racial profiling
and broad-spectrum butterfly-genocide,
plus a kind of eugenics that hadn't
been invented yet. Leaving us
the sort of butterflies you know.
Never having known their glories.
Thanks, apes!
