Raffi Wartanian: We Are All

We are all gods


We are all devils


We are the howling spirits

We are all obstetricians


We are all murderers


We are the mirror fragments pointed at each other

We are all brilliant


We are all buffoons


We are the shards of meta-meninges

We are all alive


We are all dead


We are the nightmares of Jupiter

We are constructive destructors


We are destructive constructors


We are the cotton wrecking balls

We are all rising


We are all falling


We are dancing in our sleep

We are all sporks


We are all shovel-fingers


We are the children of economic dictatorships

We are all friends


We are all freaks


We are the Deepwater Horizon


We are all Jacques Cousteau


We are all British Petroleum


We are the earth’s exploitation


We are all humble


We are all self-obsessed


We are the cohesion of left and right

We are all spokes


We are all sparks


We are the true wheel
