The Last Humans Alive

The Last Humans Alive

By Mark Quinn

The last humans alive
in orbit around the last planet
around the last sun.

Keeping humanity alive in
that last moment of time
for the last ones.

Watching every bit of video,
every song, every dance, every movie,
reading every book, every bit
of cyberdance, every game.

To them, to only them,
all of us have a name.

And we are in spirit purified,
and we are in spirit lifted
and we are in spirit personified through them.

In them, there are no lies, through them, there is no shame,
there are only gifts to be shared among
those who carry our voices onward to the
newly-minted cosmic suns in the
new universal nexus.
