Rough Beast
Rough Beast I don’t know you, obviously. You are imaginary. The breath of a chance that someone survived the damage we’ve done to this world and is capable of understanding these words. This moment exists by virtue of us imagining each other. But what are you; a descendant of survivors that I’m unaware of, a clever robot or , equally cliched, an alien archaeologist trying to understand what happened here? Are you something I’m afraid to imagine, an angel or god or some smirking demon viewing the results of its handiwork? I’d like that, because there’d be someone to blame other than humanity. But no, we own this; the X-Virus, the Oxygen Glut, the Short Wars; they’re all ours.
