BELOW AND BEYOND (April 20) 
PEOPLE,
futile, stupid people
How did we ever beat
Ne-an-der-thals
We’re flimsy,
ignorant and clumsy
yet we were on the “winning” side
on a too speedy downhill ride
I blame daddy
and mumsy
Lovers
are extra stupid people
they’re the stupidest people in the world
With each other
in parallel or series
they mate and make more of themselves,
create ever unhealthier hells
full of hunger and thirst but firstly
too many people,
futile, stupid people
how in hell did we beat
Ne-an-der-thals
