Summiting

Fungal or not, if we are
Parasites, we got into
The business of directing

Flesh hundreds, likely thousands
Of generations ago.
You’ve been specializing

And summiting ever since,
Climbing on, up, and over
Each other, then infecting

The rest. It’s not a new thing.
Every time one of you climbs
All over a heap of you,

That’s us, then, spreading ourselves,
Getting the word out, piling
Ideas in your skulls, piling

Your skulls into pyramids,
Reminding you pyramids
Are for winners. Not yours, ours.
