The Year of 4040
written by: Angel Edwards
The year of 4040
Where is no God
Everybody is God
There is no food
No one eats
There are no dreams
No one sleeps
There are no rules
No laws to shatter
People are chimeras
with some robot parts and
some animal matter
Safely in a self-contained separate solo
floating pod
4040
Within one of these pods
Without warning
little to see or hear
from the right robot eye
there is falling
cascading
crying
one shimmering silver tear
Is it in memory of
long forgotten DNA?
Now recalled in 4040 year
