*****
When you leave your body,
where do you leave your body?
I mean, as you slip through the clods
On gossamer road grading equipment,
do the thoughts of fossilized remains,
creatures dead three hundred million years
visualize their world to you?
Does animal want, devouring flesh
with canine teeth reward or repulse you?
I mean, the protean hunger,
as we gorge ourselves on buffet Earth,
does the minds ability to tell nourishment
from poison come from primordial understanding,
or do we look with regret at the one
who should not have eaten that…
As the detached spirit reacquires the body,
will the bonding agent adhere to ideas?
