Antennae Reaching


Adjusting our antennae,
what distance will the waves of continuum require?

Will smiles ever again evade
our angered overload and distortion?

Can this new means,
this unproven transmission
merge emotions with intellectual spark,
avoid destruction by fire,
allow flame to light candles,
not infernal machines of hate?

Will the mountain stream
continue to carry the simplicity of
leaf-sail atop bark-boats of innocence,
that floating child-like imagination
into man’s unquenchable ocean of mind?

Will orbiting satellites someday
conjoin swirling auras of Nature?

Will questions beg “When” answers?

Will “When” become a long journey
for Ones and Zeros to be of Nature,
aspiring to know,
to think?

Can such digits ever tell us
how near the Singularity truly is,
that point where all parallel lines meet,
the point where a calculated variable
reaches unmeasurable/infinite value,
that moment beyond which technological progress
may become incomprehensibly complex?

And if such movement be resolved,
might man’s moral compass
risk annihilation?

Life’s antennae continues reaching…
directions unknown.
