As Autumn arrives, green plants
slip into moist brown earth,
mountains gaze down through morning mist to consciously
plowed fields, and a car speeding past cows grazing on the
verge of a backcountry road. Are there caves here, rock art?
Over eighty years ago a
poet wrote: "Bird man
dead and
bison dying," in the deep haunts of a cave, where
animal
dreams
cast
humanity's highest arts.
When algorithms
become our genius
and gnosis is what
we
think we know, "Drive, he sd, for / christ’s
sake, look
/
out
where yr going."
