BRIDGES OVER THE HORIZON OF SPACE AND TIME

at mile 12
On a flat bed trailer
rests eight giant urns
stenciled "Nuclear Chem Corp"
on their way to burial--
offering rays of death
from the angel of light--
what's dead
will live on
through the millennia.

What is time to the imagined
timeless in those tanks?

less than eons
but longer than the bridge
hunkered in the forest
growing from the swamp
where life has drained
for 3 million years
from Baldwin to Mobile county.

While calculating the time and distance
to pass a flat bed trailer on the highway
I remembered that before 92 thousand years
there was little evidence of Homo Sapiensim.
All we had was the evolutionary consciousness
 of cell tissue which was alive and developing then,
consciousness was developing 500 million years ago.

But what is gradualism in the eyes of the universe
(the limits of which we believe we can see today).

The universe does not see with eyeballs
the universe will not be limited by anatomy
or human history.

Nuclear waste is not evil,
it just kills tissue
it is against evolution
it is pro-abortion
it kills foetuses.
It burns all living tissue
all cells burn which come directly in contact.
It is fire.
It is light or darkness.
It is that which endures
lacking in splendor.

The universe will not be limited by night.
