Crossing, Gary Lark

Crossing

 

And in the dust and ashes
there lies the victim of thought,
sprawled, with its little engine
trying again and again to connect
the axiom to the axon.

The human tree
may have grown its last branch
and we are hacking at it
with a sharp saw.
We have excellent tools.

Review by Massimo Fantuzzi

Never stop questioning the nature of progress, the purpose, the finality, the endgame. Never fall for the shiny packaging, the easy climb or descent. Above all, remember Pinocchio.
