In the year 2000, Eduardo Kac bio-artistically spliced a glowing jellyfish’s genes with a rabbit, previewing humanity’s god-like capacity to create a new species. The speaker of this poem and his brother want to play God, too, they want to evolve in emotional free fall, get ritualistically high, paint facial expressions on the trees and on one another, and float on empty kegs for safety. However, this euphoria is a facade, beneath it vibrates a dread that they are both doomed to a self-destructive fate—yet what dooms them is the very violent behaviors that lets them bond in the first place. To survive alone or die together? To be brothers in the only way they know how. Their true wish is to be together yet the only way for that to come true is for the world to stop, otherwise, it’s over. So let’s hope it does, may they be together a little longer.
