grandchildren:
this invocation is written
on this typewriter, here,
circa this time,
and extends
from the symbols on this page
to your eyes, now,
in your time -

no matter how much
you take Life for granted, with
it's Evil & Idiocy & Wanton Neglect
it's Bill Paying & Brainwasting Entertainments,
but also with it's Health & Hope &
Comraderie & Compassion (for its own sake),
remember that there is a miracle
afoot, that of the Creative Holy Spirit,
that invokes (and provokes) Mankind to
evolve humanity to a better position,

& that your life must be dedicated to
the endeavour of giving your best to this
Evolution, no matter what form your function

do not get too bogged down
in Semantics, or even Poetics,
but rather practice what you preach,
& preach what you practice

get your spiritual food from those
great Human Beings before you
who have written their knowledge
to the page, for your eyes,
now, in your time

synthesize these threads
and recast them in your
brilliance, & never rest
until the Evolution is well on its
way, and our brethren are on
equal footing

when you're down, simply
breathe deeply, in quiet,
& look at the stars, look
at the insect, look at the human form,
smell the trees, the mud, the clay,
touch the hands, the legs, the hair,
listen to your heartbeat,
laugh from outside yourself

take comfort knowing that you
are never alone,
that the dead family ghosts are
with you, & that we all come from
the same common family,
ultimately,
and these tribes are with you too
(the dancing spirits)

to assist in this
profoundly interesting endeavour
under the sun.
