Huxley was wrong

And still it moves


If enough believe,
the great turtle will once again swim the
boundless ether.
It can be done:
computer animation, viral marketing, e-mail
solicitation promising
whatever people want.
The turtle blinks:
earthquake.
A flipper flips: monsoon.
Children's videos on youtube:
tales of the turtle.
Plush dolls, t-shirts, accessories.
The Abrahamic religious authorities
don't see turtle worship as a threat.
But I saw huge shadowy scales in the
last photos sent back from Mars.
