I AM NOT DIANE FOSSEY; ANTHROPOLOGY POPS



1.

our
ancestor 
chimps 
proved themselves alpha
by 
waving branches to look bigger
beating 
their 
breasts
and 
chucking shit at contenders

like
we
might 
drive round in a big red bus
with
a
lie
painted
on
the
side


2.

we
forage

we
fuck

hooting at ugly showbiz

as
always


3.

our
ancestor chimps
fought
for 
females

ensured a future for their genes

and
for
endless
grooming
by
the
subservient 

tho
we 
are 
now
full of ourselves
our 
bridges / science / spaceships
our 
huge brain pans / language / self-awareness

we
are
also
not
so
different 

at all
