Are we very beautiful yet?
It is warmer october,
Princeton grads write theses on global cooling.
Darwin failed, the Man upstairs cheers.
We count eyelashes in the mirror.
Before we all freeze
and stay this shallow forever
Are we beautiful enough?
Or are our talking lips bitten
through, thoroughly.
The wind nips my nose and
makes it ache— therefore
the next ice age must be upon us.
Quick! Before we burn the books and trees for warmth
Are we beautiful enough?
A.I. has the answers now.
Yes! It agrees maliciously
You are beautiful enough to die.
The chance of anything is 100
if you give it enough time.
Enough for most but not for me.
Enough for you but not for free.
We are very cold
& very, very far from beautiful.
