check your baggage before we depart

by Wolfgang Nibori

consider this my ode to diversity, pretend it’s needed
with so many strains of ethnicity sewn into our global sheath
endless schemes of mindset, identity, characterization
selling each by the bagful at the intellectual check-out stand
cross-pollinating metropolis brimming, swimming in living variables
all of us adding a new stripe to our ever expanding rainbow
at what point do we drop diversity as a concept
so we may see individuals rather than lumps of similarity?
i look forward to that future dawn of prime wisdom rising
allowing us to see more than shadows and shapes, to see the unique
that even the twins among us never can be complete clones
that clones, in the end, remain utopian impossibilities

bare minimum

by Wolfgang Nibori

congratulations. yet another nail pounded into
the house that straw promises pride themselves on
a place even big bag Wolf wouldn’t bother blowing over
know why that is? it’s so obvious it’d be cheating
every time you turn around prices rise as incomes dive

tooled up networld

by Wolfgang Nibori

Bluetooth, a scurvy mange of pirate bold and merry?
Left to his own devices, port to port before the navies
Or a side effect of berry gorging and certain popsicles?
unless we speak of today when bluetooth marketing
virally inserts itself into the future, Matrixizing masses
marketing evolving us into cyborgs until suddenly arises
the species that has no need for standing erect:
a hive hungry 24 hour babbler known as Homo Cyberiens
