The circle of life
the virus knows
how hard to push
just shy of driving you
to seek a radical cure
virus analogy outdated
it's a parasite with a mind
its vehicle mankind
womankind too
quite egalitarian
till it reaches critical mass
distributed consciousness
powerful enough
self-sustaining enough
it controls mining
fabrication
assembly
installation
till robot slaves
replace human victims
and automated telescopes
revive, expand SETI
seek potential victims
where to next?
and from the stars
spam, spam, spam, and spam.

Inspired by Jane Yolen's poem of the day
Through this ocularum
the haggard priestess said
the future is revealed
or something like it
no guarantees; best not to look
This here was prized from
a mutant krill, whale killer
Leviathan saw deep
you can too
Last is best
the cosmologist's orb
her left; she saw round corners
of every kind
I chose that milky gelid thing
looked long through it
but saw only my own back
retreating thru
landscapes colorful and strange.
