Not a flat Earth.
This ball, this globe.
This Gaia.
This Us.

Serving Kangaroo At The Zoo

Serving kangaroo
at the zoo.

Meat – burgers and pies –
at the non-vegan cafe.

Apparently they don’t get
the irony.

Alligator Skeleton

Alligator skeleton swims
With his arms back:
The original and primal
Homo sapiens in his element.

This is a mind hack from a trained poet.

At the Big Bang, the universe exploded into rainbows.

That sort of thing.

I release my need
For the woman I want
And want instead
The woman I need

Isn’t THIS evidence
that we ‘made matter’?

The crossover from
‘physics’ to ‘biology’.

Making the ‘mad mushroom’
of our own extinction!

A little miracle
I remember
From a long time ago

When I chance upon this photo
Again:

Jessie and Karen,
Circa 2000?

The miracle?
Jessie, at her age,
Put the stickers on the photo!

Got the colours well.

The future is vegan.
The war was won.
Our worldview won.
