Babies

by dev

We have engendered   them. Our   babies. Our annelids.  Facsimiles of Us. A gushing warm viscous  fluid And  a conglomerate of meat From the womb pods of our hive Rush out into your  oxygen. Our mass will grow indeed. And, Our perfect mitosis will repeat - More beautiful Babies. Our perfect mitosis will repeat - More beautiful Babies. 8 become 16; 16 become 32 You (solo) Must know by now; no  doubt Individuality is a cold, broken loop An anachronism of a bygone era Pass through  Our membrane , insect. And be born infinitely back through it. We will have you spread-out in our warmth Under our skins; apart of our million-chambered heart Join Us.
