VOLUME 7 TABLE OF CONTENTS

 



TOOL MAKER


You are the tool maker, your brain

spread over with fresh cork linoleum

in checkered patterns of the spirit,

micro engraved to contain everything

you will ever need to know and more

if only you could just get there first.

 

Throb of fetal darkness and pink light,

you are not the only one to jump

in the face of the first quivering creature.

Don't slink back along your mud flats

scraping out survivorship by claw.

Vestigial brain, cool and hungry, chewing tails,

relax, let the scaly ones break loose.

 

Rise to the light of the new brain

as parishioners of the Neo-cortex.

No need to roam the earth in rags.

Welcome everyday truth and oneness,

computer, Zen tool of dizziness, like air,

like the first comprehension of Christendom,

a gothic dimension surpassing

the invention of stained glass,

endless windows of light

through windows of light-through.
