Letter To The Editors: Black Moon
Dear Editor,
Our fingerprints are all beginning to look alike – that’s why drones are turning to facial recognition, which, if we think about it, isn’t any less uncertain really. Soon it’ll be retinal scans. They may claim no two flakes of dry skin are alike. No more than the art of citing examples and reproducing body parts. The art of sniffing out a deal. Too many perjuries. Too many adjustments. There’s a take-down on the horizon – just over it, actually. You can’t see it yet -- maybe it’s not even there. Does anybody need anything in the way of help? In the way of an extraction? The lion in charge tried to call a halt to the hunt, seeing that we’re low on body parts. We’re entirely out of back paws. But he must’ve been reading himself a bedtime story to think that’s the kind of thing to slow us down. I mean, it’s not like we’re tracking elephants. Even as we explain it to him, the first bag in a shipment of identical back paws comes through the front door. We throw it up on the shelf right beside him. That shuts him up – until he can’t tell which copy of himself is himself.
Thanks,
G Yelle
