Progress Report on Humanity 2016


Progress Report on Humanity 2016

While working on wisdom and other such noble pursuits such as:
charting the last unknown seas of our brain,
decrypting the genetic combination codes,
lighting up dark matter, 
untwisting gravity loops, 
splitting hairs, creating charts, giving away lectures, taking no
foreign concepts as native, naturally
making machines for man to perform his manual machinations-and then some-play
(for fun), making Progress-just almost
and our work is never done...

(As though this provided some security,
it should not.)

Humble has no home here anymore.
Humane roots et al, such as humility, we have learned resulted in
futility.
We are too close for guns. 

*CONFIDENTIAL & UNENCRYPTED*

While busy upstairs in the attic, poison entered the kitchen.
In our genius haste we added this, liberally 
mistaken for a miraculous superfood.
Recalled flavor of the weak. 

Minor matters of consideration include; Moderation of matter
in patterns of fractal parsimony. & Distractions: a surplus of these.

Save some love for later. 
(Should this be encoded)

Meanwhile, we all thought our bodies as interruptions, 
 breaks in concentration and bones, 
and this partly makes us human.
Essentially. To know
and not say a word. 
Why some seem surprised when silence is broken, 
lack of line rehearsal.
An(other) Act
Comedy and Tragedy: Cattle Call!
All of us 
equally adept 
at playing either role. 

Look up, there is none. Technically, 
as the horizon, clear is only relative. 
Look out- better advice. Lucidity. 
The Big picture, we will never know
in a tiny lifetime gathering only so many pieces
allowed 
to fit in our psalms.
Look in. 
How do you feel?
And this doesn't settle well...

Fathoms deep we have wondered
-was it something I ate?
Toxic. But too late. 
Hate made us human. 
All the forces like electromagnetism, hydrothermal convection, 
and preoccupations like autotrophs adapting to gravity and love 
all liked best to Fall at our feet.
Footprints and fractals, all rewritable. 

Conclusion in Abstract Terms:
We are working on it. It may take a couple more weeks, considering the weather and the way the vowels 
(or opportunities) 
line up.

And then...

  Change is like that strong smell of cut grass or chopped wood that stops you still. Patterns, a symbol can be an illegible sign,  at first...
