Meta-Poetics Vol. 2: Prophetic Conflations
As the Ubermensch is to Homo Sapiens, so shall AntiPoets become for Poets
Escapees from that vapid madhouse centered around a cult of personalities
Exodus wandering into wilderness where tumble-words drift through desert
Then those vainglorious bardic bastards vanish vanquished via just dessert
Their successors will incorporate same techniques but expand beyond them
Creatively subverting what held inordinate esteem among subordinate soles
Never apologizing to any sounder for hanging pearls high over swine heard
Even at farthest futures these verses are misread; echoes deafened scholars
Append another end until disappointing childhood notebooks are unearthed
Anonymity and public apathy afford a cover much better than the night itself
Explanandum sans explanans demands lifted arms lie surrendered in defeat
