About the Soul

Fear and fury: watch the seasons come and go. Deaf and blind without a breath or sense of smell. Brothers and sisters: in a well-defined but borderless community. Not who but how a molecule decides to polymerize.
Sit still and feel: cells waiting for instructions what to do. Resurrection’s when astrophysics comes full circle with biochemistry and each millennium mother nature threatens to stop
mothering man.
Do less: one thing may be a summary of all things. Stretch.
Structure: wants resistance, restriction. Everything cannot be said or done.
Assembly: construction, legal case, totem, poem. Any place where political speeches are
delivered, the effort to organize the commune is made.
Dingus: a gadget, humorous substitute for a name unknown or forgotten. Lingam.
Thing: huge knowledge gap.
Time: why are most motorcyclists fat? I saw a thin one and he was a marvel moving through
spacetime.
Like: similar to, not exactly, it. Now I can explain mitosis and meiosis, RNA transcription,
translation, protein synthesis.
Electricity: why would a protein, enzyme, move to a particular promoter on a gene? It’s all about
sharing and unsharing electrons.
Scientific method, sitting meditation: disconnect all wires and tubes temporarily. The arc (sine
wave, slope) of history is toward individual responsibility.
Paradise, perfect rest: each individual responsible for each bomb dropped, atom spinning, cell
dividing.
A kiss: is sustenance, as is the rosy dawn. If physicists can call gamma rays non-particle
radiation, I guess poets can talk about the soul.
