"’Neotenty’ is ‘remaining young,’ and it may be ironic that it is so little known, because human evolution has been dominated by it." --Tom Robbins, Still Life with Woodpecker
You crazy red heads
...always knocking up the dead!
Knock, knock yourselves out!
Was Lennon addressed?
On beetle beats, "Imagine". . .
Pileated race
On wings, black and white . . . "Come Together", Woodpeckers
Let the order live!
Life, back to dead pines . . .
Everything hears your cackles!
Pause . . .Let's hear him sing!
