amongst this chaos
midst this destruction
mired we reside
confiding in erudition
starving for truth
our myopic self in view
chewing up short sighted moments
relating illusion to events
together spectres and spheres turn
sense and sensibility
phylum and kingdom
everything generic
genetics in its place
so we hurtle encapsulated
turtles within a shell
guilty and haphazard
we journey through time and space
remember those ancient lizards
entrepreneurs in jungle light
into mammoth ice age darkness
then once again
this caveman race
without our prehistoric gizzards
pitching through fragmented night
fissured we still stream
dream a moist address
water then once again
droplets into evolutionary space
reflecting God's eternal face
tripping through this spatial chaos
cogitating course destruction
caves are a place to hide
residing with divine wisdom
but life is such an urgent ride
always wanting a festive table
confiding in the sacred side
of despot Cain and victim Abel
