Impulse Purchase

Now, as a practical matter

It's pointless to address you directly here

Any probabilistic adjustments

Will dissolve in the sea

Of the everything-everyone-everywhere-ever-has-done

That you swallowed before

But let me sing with you

Daughters of the Anthropocene

Let me sing with you

Scions of it all

Will you lace up your shoes

And come dancing with me?

Let me sing with you

After we're gone

Still, no stochastic parrot

Has yet called on his nation

To knock back bleach

And if mermaids still linger at all here

They sing each to each

While your everything-everyone-ever-has-done

Blows the hinges from the Chinese room door

Oh, let me sing with you

Daughters of the Anthropocene

Let me sing with you

Scions of it all

Will you lace up your shoes

And come dancing with me?

Let me sing with you

After we're gone, gone

Gone, gone, gone, gone, gone

Infinite and gone

Do you hear the people sing?

Gone, gone, gone

Singularity
