Opposable Thumbs

Opposable Thumbs

 

meditate

moderate

see the other’s point of view

 

fuck that now

 

us librans

 

weighing up

playing up

paying up

 

for our

easily digestible tea-time news

 

need to

wise up

 

crabs rule now

 

snip

snap

sideways jump

 

pinch

cinch

stalking eyes

 

we

need to learn

 

neutrality

is

not the same

as

impartiality

 

‘post-truth’

is

lies

 

i’m partial

to a bit of

HUMANITY NOW

 

post your truth here

into the slit

into the hole

into the darkness of

words

 

opposable thumbs and

words

are all we’ve got

over the other dumb beasts

so

let’s turn our

opposable thumbs

 

back to front

upside down

inside out

and scream across the twitnet:

hey!

look!

they’re

 

ugly

deformed

twisted

opposed

to every beautiful impulse they were made for

 

but, hell, that’s my right

who are you

to tell me

what to do

 

with

my

opposable thumbs

 

and if my

splayed

displayed

back to front

bile dripping

vile reeking

opposable thumbs

press more

buttons

than yours

 

i win
