The weekly sonneteer weighs in on our pilgrim needs to be other than what we are, fot good or ill, with CRISPRs and AIs opening up a whole new vista of possibility, for good or ill. We'll get around to thinking about the long term ramifications and whose in charge later.

Call me Cassandro and don't believe me, but these

monsters are on their way -- nay, mark my words, they're here.

Proto-savages -- aye!-- and most of them are queer

studies, hyperbolic intangibilities,

what-have-we-heres. Why, it's Tony through the peephole,

Perkins in his mother's sun dress, off her rocker

from the fruit cellar and edgy, like Joe Cocker,

all cry-me-a-river crazy tormented soul.

LGBTQIA+ Man remakes Man --

an alphabet that goes on until we're all there

spooning and mooning and f*cking around. O dear,

did anyone see where I put the "Master" Plan?

Believe me, the AIs are already laughing

at our discomfiture. Next up, CRISPR daffing.
