Doritos (Grid Poem by Clara B. Jones)


Doritos®

for Margo Emm*

1.
Andira is the most beautiful of all beautiful trees. Experience the before and after of Doritos®. Make Art, not pizza.
The brightest minds are not yet born. “The Chinese Century is well underway.”** Modern states maximize hypersurveillance.
Kanye argued the case against gender equality. 3³ + 4³ + 5³= 6³ Afrobots act in their own self-interest.
China is patient; Congo is bankrupt. French art de vivre isn't everything. It's your bedroom; you make the rules.
Physicians are over-rated, but dentists don't care. In Detroit, past, present, and future converge. If, rb-c>0, then, I might like you.

2.
To contest the binary is a political act because they are not class-identified since they live in Cleveland but wear designer clothes, driving a used Benz® down Front Street going to visit their lover in Akron where the City Council passed an ordinance decreeing all homeowners to buy at least one non-binary Afrobot from Brazil where macaw vocalizations filter through wet leaves, their raspy staccatos and showy displays overhead, sounds infusing darkness between canopy and soil where hermaphrodite earthworms live bisexual lives as soil engineers for microbes and rhizomes and mycorrhizae with no sex lives like revolutionaries in solitary confinement revising theories of profit and loss as tools of oppression and alienation in Braverman's terms. The Amazon sang Love me forever—but, they are programmed by wet synapses, their persona now stabilized, their life a terra incognita of radical outcomes.
