anthropomorphization and personification considered flattery

for all creatures great and small
wise and wonderful

which harmless trailing appellations
courtesy anointed survival of the fittest

places Homo sapiens,
sapiens on the highest rung of a pedestal,
where said arrogant species and genus
supposedly self decreed supremacy
self serving as thee bonafide

electric kool and the gang
deoxyribonucleic acid aid test,

and figurative benchmark
against which other animals

April fools' day - ordinarily all manner of tomfoolery abounds

Pressed for time
after taking some shut eye
that would rival Rip Van Winkle
I self plagiarize a poem of mine
written back when yours truly
a foolish young guy.

 

Written/updated since last yesteryear
during global coronavirus pandemic

unlike any other metonym,
when out of this world

outlandish accouterments

people did wear
hermetically sealed
