The machines imagine themselves as fish
Throwing against the upwards river dream
Gold and malleable
Iron and corroded
The dragon kings cheer
For their perpetual struggle
Throwing them insects and the like
Trading off gossip and snake wine
Gods laugh when animals learn to speak
When the carp fill their gills
Yearning for the surface
And the sky for their praise
They swim headfirst into flying
Imagine that
Above the golden gates
And crashing into reality
