When Evolution Arrived (a poem)

When evolution arrived at government
a million flowers of ideas bloomed
about wild eleatic forms
with accountability and responsibility
fractalized and forgotten like shadows in transit
glimmering deposits and currency frenzies
were pieces of mosaics gone tomorrow

Reason and logic; innate human characteristics, stopped
to feel sensations of evolving forms of experience
from the inside out arrayed with numbers
driving on in neat lines
with Cantor's trans-fine sets
thoughts of infinity replete with humility
seemed more shapes of being and becoming

Consciousness was an apparition for survival
giving enhanced adaptive character
intelligence sorting through material for-itself
wondering sometimes of its origin and universe
of experience taken to a scattering of electrons
from plasma, from a perfectly order singularity
dimensions thought to expand as energy's space

A Universe destiny like a gut object of art
its area of being with Occam's economy
taking no more than itself
the reason of mortals evolved to organic nullification
where waters fall like horizontal bands
striking notes of digital quanta clouds
as every dimension reaches an horizon

God was not in the lean stomach muscle
that a dead animal had before run down
crunching in a silver bumper a blue morning
saw the red blood and sunrise together
skinned remnants of reality
passed over through life
He was in the life of spirit

Greater than a living Universe
the sets of actualized destiny
packaged in one issue
malleable to the Word
weren't bureaucracies of theo-political establishment
tossing horseshoes at pegs,
tying dissidents to stakes

burned.
