(D)EVOLVE
Never mind the frontal lobe
and the higher functions—
speech and self-control, abstract thought
let’s bypass even the reptilian brain
wonder at our slime mold selves
where one is all fever and drooling
billions of years slamming into the now
in the container of one speck of being
sending it lurching about
stumbling gelatinous
reaching out toward the sustaining stars—
the light, the life-giving light
the ever- present light.
