Shuffle the deck
Turn the kaleidoscope
And the patterns form and re-form in a beautiful dance –
An amoeba;
The spreading pine;
Restless driver ants on the march;
The virus in the yolk.

Twisted zipper of life
The world is rife with pattern and chaos
And we pretend control and guilt over its workings.
Since the primordial slime
We have taken very little from her
And given even less.
We’ve got six pounds of bugs riding around in us
Laughing at the jest.
