"Humans, Being"

At least my limitations aren't unfamiliar
because I run into them all of the time.
Instead of "Best Dressed”, my high school class
all voted me "Best ..Just Left Alone".

I drive around with my headlights off
(at least it's easy to see someone well-lit oncoming);
and the biggest fraud in the legislature
is always doing something quietly with the pudding…

Tinder just sets you up with sexting text-bots –
sometimes the future isn't always that great.
Later, your self-healing phone’s electric sciatica
will flare up if you set the poor thing to vibrate;

and meat bikinis will become fashionable 
once we get the vat-grown textures just right –
plus, if they're alive they could massage you,
"Yeah that's it — no, a little more to the side…"

It's too much to expect the world to make sense,
there's no way we'll understand over time –
in Canada if the dog wants your beer 
you give it to him, the law says it's his right.
