Genital moths in these undercurrents sound
One zaps the other in a disco fight
In these frequencies the skin of light jumps
Echoes migration of cave etching
Sonographic teeth on the radio
Insects’ lips fight ultrasound with ultrasound
Feel it suck and bounce
Grab the spiny-legged
Rasp of a scaly abdomen
My species a one-click strategy
My sensitive species
Hunting we smash records vibrate vaginas
Any bat can squeak
Evolutionary arms race to the artificial version
Simple probing extremely simple
The pitch of a neuron crescendo
The courtship call we produce
