6426. ALL THAT WE HAVE BLUNDERED

ALL THAT WE 

HAVE BLUNDERED

All that we have blundered shall be standing still

long after these lights are out : there will be those

paths of concrete the new folk will see, grown over,

embedded and covered with grasses and trees. It's

like that  -  an abandonment left to regrow, and a

hundred years later you'd never know we were here.

Time-spans and long-term outlooks must be held 

steady. All that we have blundered shall outlive us.

-

Perhaps the radio-scopic intensifiers, and all those

things which read in atmospheres and quantities will

make a note of our passing, leaving isotopes and traces

for others to find. But that find will be a future mind :

something we don't right now understand. They'll gather

things from looking, things we would never recognize.

-

A passing telepathy of mind and matter; the high scope

of deep space, the low form of this life's space. 

The rocks, and the dirt, and the soil.
