homo in excelsis

[fledgist]

at some point the boundary between human and machine
will start to fade the way that county lines dissolve
before the urgent need to banish crime the minds revolve
from image to image in panic sifting scene from scene
in turn electron supplants organ then meme for gene
exchanges place then the reverse the process will involve
no instant transformations rather new parts will solve
each problem as it happens nothing will have been
permanently changed though mind will now speak to mind
without the mediation of charged words instead we'll see
a gradual acceptance that the difference doesn't matter
and never should have we'll just see that human kind
includes machine parts that relieve old age that we will be
just what we were as long as self-delusion does not shatter
