Universal benediction of the neo-transcendental worm!

Univrse of black empty savannas,
without beetle, or bird,
or lonely wandering brainy mollusk
to fill the meaningless void

between
this molecule and that,
this atom and that,
this solar system,
this galaxy,
this notion,
and that

emptiness,
sans concept,

no “I” nor “they,”
nor “meatball submarine,”
nor “corrupt war pig”
nor “coat-hanger fetus”

no myth of democracy,
nor sentient things,
no myth of government
nor consciousness of self-rule.

only the congealing of non-living stuff
to quivering beasts of
a vast bullshit cosmos:

bumbling water-bears,
astral space slugs,
super-atomic trails,
pan-dimensional mucous,
gravy of gravitons,
sapient-mitochondria,
across and back through
Swiss-cheese Brane knots,

dinoflagellate dinosaur,
rhinoceros elderberry,
creeping vine crying child.
the lifeless goo quickened,

and in that in the quickening
the celestial substrate
the eternal loam,
molecular bonds transform
to fields of intangible abstraction

And swan-things dip long necks
beneath the liquid surface
pull weed-things up
from alien muck
and feast.

Galactic cormorants dive
and in serrated bills snatch
spaceship mummichugs,
swallow whole, digest
by enzymatic chemistry
within the weird corpus
of self-perpetuating strands
