i can't get my mind around it. what is evolution now? is technology post-natural evolution? why are we so focused on animals and technology? will technology go the way of the animals? the questions are to big for a short tunnel.
ghosts are transmitters. fruit flies are re-wiring
our synapses. our dna is being primed
for ghost transmission.
if we can talk to our ghosts, can we change the future?

what spirit possesses me
when i confront the bulldog?
i go crazy.
i do not imagine you are thinking
of protecting me
from the bulldog.

you get mad at me.
i may not ever know
what the fen thinks, but i trust

seven half-head buddhas appear in the margins of copper's umwelt.
a guy wondered
what it was like
being an animal, unlike himself.
how much simpler
he thought
to be an animal. ha,
a goat is more my kind,
he said. so
he studied
animism. his
shaman said, to want
to be a goat
is pretty standard.
he called it a holiday
from human being. ha, an animal
is not a human holiday,
and goats don't need no heidegger. ha,
it quickly gets abzurd. better to just hang
around goats, and forget about fame, buddy. fame
is for human being.
i don't understand, buddha,...(where is your mouth?)
i don't understand this world of suffering, this weather of misery,
and you should have a mouth
to answer me.
