☀ Today's Poem: ""Tis Not Too Late to Seek a Newer World" Tennyson" Cody-Rose Clevidence

Eden of the shore, vasectomy of the heavens, ambiguity of prayer. the Verge
of Consciousness, plurality, density, the "laws of motion" and the "laws
of thermodynamics" and the laws of any given state. the one rule of Eden
and the cuckold god. the dawn "Crows" the night "Falls" the ocean
"Waves"—everything is animate to our animate brains, perambulating
over the surface of an earth which will kill us. the fetid gasses of heaven
swirl and break on heaven's inhospitable shores. I would be as a pigeon let loose
from this filthy Ark, flying over Oklahoma on a Sunday in the great flock of
molecules above that spangled sky of my country. the "Goldilocks Hypothesis" the
Hubble Space Telescope, the little robot on mars. the nautelis, the squid,
the dinner-plate sized eye of a blue whale, the cables that run the whole
length of the ocean floor, fiber-optic amygdala of the 21st century, there are still
lions that roam the savannah, there are still taxis in New York. there is still
oil underneath the Arctic, there are still tiny lichens responding to environmental
stimuli on the green-grey rolling tundra. a prayer for all the lichens on
the tundra. a prayer for every nerve-cell & basal ganglia currently in pain.
a prayer for the hydrocarbons on Neptune, a prayer for a handful of dust,
what is the neuro chemistry of prayer. the neurochemistry of desire that impels life
to do its fixed-action-patterns to sustain itself. make an egg. let the sunlight on
yr skin. seek warmth. build spaceships. the sugars are in the apple.
the instructions for making the sugars are encoded in the apples genes.
the location of the taste of sweetness is on the tongue as we are in the world,
bio-region, airborne, master-of-all, split the atom, spit out the seed—
