Everybody now: 
When I was just a carbon form
I asked the ether, what lies ahead?
First you’ll grow fingers
& then you’ll build arms
& then you’ll mine oil & lead

Que sera seignera
Whatever will be will bleed
To seek is to reach is to exceed
Que sera seignera!

When I was just a human being
I asked the Other, what should I try?
Should I take over
Should I run ground
or should I just wait to die?

Que seignera mourra
Whatever will bleed will die
To live is reprieve in short supply
Que seignera mourra
Que seignera mourra! 


Jesse Darling
