Krakatau’s escape
A dark obsidian glob
which swallows skies
home to what was sold as sapience
remnant of tiny corners cut
from a CEO’s salary
Evacuated hastily after
the smozone layer holes punched
by the orbital hadron fissure beam
designed as a last ditch effort
to advertise on a smog canvas
The obsidian floats
recalling how it came to be
ferrying cars with “artificial intelligence”
hoping to crash anew
with no one to record it
