TOOL MAKER
You are the tool maker, your brainspread 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.
