We are all worm-riders.
You don't believe me?
Just look to the desert around you,
the shifting dunes, the buried ruins of cities,
the pockets of sedition against the man
(even though we are the man)

Call for air support, we have worm-sign
(10 minutes)


We are sand-trout children,
born of the worm,
reaching maturity to place our thumper.

(7 minutes)

We have known this from the beginning
but have forgotten how to remember.

(4 minutes)
(PLEASE HURRY!)



The proof is everywhere,
all across the internet,
the pictures of my extreme youth:
money shots,
universal *******,
***** from a *******.
*(no more minutes)
You are welcome, sci-fi fans.  Frank Herbert's *Dune* series is simply amazing and prophetic.  I am not ashamed to say that many of its concepts have heavily influenced my poetry.  I'm not sorry.  Hope you like it...
