3486. ALL THINGS ELSE

 ALL THINGS ELSE
A magisterial tree of life that has
kept us running  -  we had the
garden with its crazy storyline
and that fiction of bad events.
We've made, by all of that, the
nation-state wince; borderlines
and fashions all together. Yet now,
still, fools are slaughtering
each other anew.
-
We can watch events unfold, and
stay away. Memories of the flood,
or of riding the dinosaur one
time or another. The nightmare
we wish to imagine will - if
we let it - sluice its slice of
film well into our reality. Are
we brave enough  -  or too
sensitive  -  for any of that?
-
Peter Male will come alive.
He makes the Earth, as he
has made all things else.
