Five-Dimensional Comparative Anatomy of Four-Dimensional Beings

(An address before the Synoptic Society)

Observe small differences among continua:

Age at removal of organs,

Variation across the dimensions

In presence/absence of limbs,

Of partners, family groups, offspring.

Ribbons of being are long or short,

They divide or wither,

Respond with surprising sensitivity

To parametric permutation, cluster

According to statistics of stochasticity.

We cannot perceive without meddling

When we choose parameters,

So must we not seek love,

Must we not seek places where love thrives?

Is this not our obligation?
