A Poem For The Smart Ones Eagerly Awaiting Their Corporate Poke

by William Skink

poke me in Tuskegee
watch my body change
God was a shitty architect 
building this meat cage

they're building bodies better
by editing the flaws
and making water wetter 
with a better water clause

hesitancy monsters
who scoff and doff their masks
will get new scarlet letters
and wrist tattoos to match

stupid anti-vaxxers
they own your neural links
and soon the algorithm 
will reteach you how to think
