WITNESS

Bear witness to the whale Cetus
Yea YES YOU fittest survivor
From Pleiades to Earth
To Tau without extinction
Draw light without dominion

On bamboo

A moon balances
On bamboo high bamboo tall
She fails to fall
Still her moonlight falls on all

And witness bravery love kindness
see the worst in us become our best

Vacate space wait airs vacuum
Let lions pace dogs chase
And donkeys don quixoti
Let peoples babel
And sleepers draft

Raft and separate
Exit and exist
Grace lakes cumin and bamboo
Commit to the scent of a pear
Let intelligence grow artificial
It matters not for only the spirit wills

Avoid fierceness and fears that father regret
Meditate stable your wits health and thrive
See all but judge none remember yourself
There is a place at a high table
Here play your suit and wear it well
Witness the witness
Fit the mantle and so survive
