Mark Zuckerberg
has bought Strancally Castle
in County Waterford
Ireland,
renovations are starting
Bill Gates will update the windows
there will be a virtual moat
robots on the ramparts
and a banquet hall
for blowhards, tyrants
and blonde ladies
with cheeks like polished boulders.
And yes, there will be programmers
and coders
so leave your sense of humour on the doorstep
it’s not Strancally as we know it.

Muskerberg and The Toddler King
The rough beast is leaving Bethlehem
Musk Ox and Meta Morf
joined at the hip
their android stares
fixed on the horizon
slouching into twenty twenty five.
And all across the world
lonely men light up their lap tops
and search for unverified facts
formerly known as “lies”.
Meanwhile the Toddler King sleeps soundly
dreaming that he’s on an ice floe
off the coast of Greenland.
In the dream he owns that ice floe
and seals honk
in what he interprets to be approval.
