Skipping Stones

Desire expressed

manifests in moments

Genesis to geneticist

alpha to omega, Eden Armageddon

and a particular flat stone

I'm flinging at that pile of H2O

 

It skips, predictably,  causing surface ripples

under a line of predefined arcs

each described by gravity and water molecules

neatly arranged in surface tension that

reflects this day ... blue as the clear sky

and a peaceful wavelength

we know as

harmony

 

I'm wondering who desired such perfection...

Enabled energy, proclaimed pebbles

Caused a lake to feel at home right here

 

Read Darwin some respond

you're only here because

a primal pond appeared

somehow someway backwhen

and that famous fertile germ

opted for a brave new world

with homo-sapiens

conveniently mapped to its single cell

Dadadadaaa! Dumdeedee dumb!

Dvorak wonders too

 

Backwards, on slow-motion rewind

lofty intellects scratch and munch in flaky wonderland

ever plotting the self-indulgent, Lemming way 'ahead'

Independence day drags drearily on

Take fifty! ... A more human-friendly God

created in our image ... lest we forget the beast

I, me, first-person-one, Oh you're lookin' good!

Lets put that that triple 6 trinity to work

Replete, till death us do part, we do things My Way

ala Frank (and certain gorillas with cigars)

 

Thus is the compliment returned

Man attains an ever lower High place

Pass my slice of cake please

Myopic, entropic moments

loop their mobius strips

ever further down the food chain

Highways congeal and earth chokes

desperation

 

Small wonder Wisdom opposes pride

Shows His face to humble folk

Invites shepherds to witness

Jupiter in Virgo's womb

Rouses them with a shofar blast  

come Kingdom come.
