Apocalypse (Or Not)

Polar ice caps melting

       coral reefs disintegrating

                 rainforests stripped to the bone

                            oceans fished out

                                       welcome to the new evolution

                                                  the arch-delusion

                                                               that no scientific mythology

                                                                                       can reverse



Rejoice:

        a life unlimited

                           with more fabulous machines

                                     more engrossing virtual worlds

                                                more wealth

                                                         more toys



The gods of Olympus

       the Mesoamerican deities

                  the Hindu lords of the cosmos

                               the Father,the Son and the Holy Ghost

                                               all are having their sport with us



The cycles and periods

          the alignments

                   and endings of time

                             revolve simultaneous multi-levels

                                              under the skin



This world I co-create

         saturate with meanings

                    categorize

                               compile

                                         and record



Daimons break through

       the cracks

                delighting in sabotage

                                and subversion



Is my being insufficient?

      Is that the reason why I create

               insufficient worlds?

                             Give me slowness and complexity,

                                                  art,

                                                           not technology

                                                                                now

                                                                                       not then



Inexhaustible fairy tales

        tell our destinies

                  full of wise counsel

                            and prophecy...

                                          so come,sad and cunning,

                                                          to learn



Harmonies of time

         harmonies of spirit

                     if you feel it

                                 it is



What perfect mysterium is hidden

         in the ineffable structure

                               of time?



Mind mutates

        through millennia

                   each leap

                             the sudden manifestation

                                         of possibilities latent

                                                      in the origin



The pyramids of Egypt

          Mexico

                   Mesopotamia

                               call us back

                                                to climb their steps
