I grew up in Christian fundamentalism, went to hell, came back, became a Presbyterian then a Buddhist Presbyterian, and now I'm a profane Presbyterian Zen Taoist -- not that I'm into labels or anything. Here's what I've learned so far: The more you know, the more you know you don't know.

Allopatric Speciation
Once this binary
Reproduction has played out,
A third species will
Leap, mind transformed, into space,
Light-years beyond the human.

It slowly bludgeons into you.
Your head aches with resisting it.
Desire is even harder when
you know that you've been missing it.
Desire and guilt -- gifts that keep on giving.
What fuels carnivores
is death: need and shame are twin
incisors. I eat,
becoming both what I eat
and the way I consume it.
Can an animal
turn itself into a tree?
Yet soil, too, is death--
twice-worn flesh, leaves sanctified
by worms, whose mouths embrace all.
