1Asteroid Targets
2 Gaian Chicxulub:
3 Terranean Anarchy
4 Creates a Gap.
5 Gone is the Cretaceous
6 Tertiary in Ashes;
7 Countless the Goodbyes to
8 All That.
9 Gaian Creation
10Gapes after Chicxulub:
11 Anarchy Targets
12 Terra post- Asteroid.
13 Goodbye to the K-
14 T, All un-
15 Counted, the Goners: that's
16 That now: just Ashes at the
17Sea- Gate.
18Rosalind Franklin wept not,
19for such breaches do not count
20with genes that self-proof-edit:
21need not ask who will be last
22one standing, it will be the code
23that writes itself, not forgiving
24oak confessionals that come to grief
25with third-hand-out dried bouquets,
26distracted with an offer
27to foreclose on unpaid debts
28to a cemetery plot,
29a body's real estate,
30and leave on the plate a bill
31whose implications can but
32stupefy intelligence:
33re-birth, resurrected flesh,
34payback or vindication,
35a clean well-lighted place
36for Enki, Inti, Freyja,
37Aphrodite, and themselves?
38Imagination envies
39scientific information;
40both persistently subvert
41the will to understand them,
42one tells Him where He wants to go,
43science is a picture show
44excluding Him from what He knows.
