In the dystopia now…
“Humans are the new
asteroid,”
she said in an interview.
The last big
asteroid
killed off the dinosaurs;
now the human
asteroid
is killing off the
animals in the wild
by driving really
big vehicles
really fast
on highways
thousands of miles
from the wild
animals. The
asteroid
takes off
and flies over,
dive bombing
into the ocean
and into the
wild blowing
lungs out
of the
animals;
Asthmatic
grand-
children go to the
zoo to see
the pigmy
animals who once
were pretty
big. Their grand-
parents take
the children
to the zoo in
really big vehicles
that fly down
the highway
as the children
ask, “Are we there,
yet?” and
Nana says, “Put
your masks on,
my little
lovelies.”
