Roman numeral thirteen:
How speedy is the process of evolution?
Darwin's diversification is slow
How many believers are there?
Or, are they familiar with the white rat?
No end to the beginning
No beginning to the end
Camouflaged against the mellow bark of the tree trunk
Appearance suddenly allows a moment of escape
Depending on what you're looking at
And then what happens is
on and on
gnosis, nonsense, beautiful
& The Question
which
is not really a question at all
rather an invitation to an event
to draw it all back
with awe, laughter and fear
Mimicry is not camouflage
All reflections of myth
are visible in the living narrative of experience
punctuated by an absurd humor
infused with timeless moments
in which we glance upon
illumination, ecstasy, madness
very near yet very far
