Most of the planets were
                named after gods of an empire since extinct, while the cosmos
              continues to evolve. We are left with one God and STEM with
              no roots, driven by figures
 
              cold as the void and arrogant as a star
              on the cusp of imploding.
              
             Then it sent
                  forth a Light shining through
              space into the future, 
              skirting  
               the
              horizons of
 
              black
                  holes; dazzling astronomers, physicists, 
              even a few poets, artists and musicians.
             Contrary to
                  Jupiter's toxic unbreathable air and swirling
                  storms, Earth has
              a blue/green/
              brown/black inquisitive eye by
              means of its own inner articulations. Neural
              receptors in the
 
              joints turn them into sense organs, registering
              geometric relations to the
              ground and to the
 
              force of gravity by the relative position of
              the bones. The system links
              bones and extremities 
              to the environment and innumerable
            gradients in-between.
             Cézanne
                  stopped drawing boundaries, letting blank space find itself,
                  the terra
                  incognita.
              Giacometti died while still trying to draw a nose, knowing its
              appearance is not the nose.
              How can we not
              become our own Frankenstein, animate beings motivated by inanimate
            bits and pieces?
