Ode To Loulis

Slapping the wrist of exclusivity,
who was caught bequeathing blows to beasts,
merits a muse on the relevance of animal intelligence
since languid debaters flout prudent alligators
and laugh-off layers of linguistic disclaimers

Alphabetical? Chimpsky, Chomsky, delusional Dolittle
pepper in Irene’s talk, even Waal’s set-apart
yet see these epiphanies labeled
prattle of the parlour tea table.

Therefore I, anthro, po-mo, resident of our detached abode,
propose a loco glow of hope, with a behavioral approach
herein trotting-out tout,
sample scramble to sovereign strong-arms:
victors homo and creatures so low
seize the weak with an Alpha encroach

Whose image are you made in, Christians?
belittling a parallel claim to reign is wrought with fallacy,
principally via deity
instead consider the tempo of your mythological rhythm
don’t ride the mess express ala Anthropotheism
