and the ship moved on
pushing the planetesimals aside
no rocky world coming now
no CHONic wrigglers

Butterfly Effect



The paleontologist proposed
visiting the Ediacaran
time-travel no longer reserved
for the military anymore

she brought back a bizarre
never-before-seen creature
ancestor, as it turned out, of us all.

Returning to the future
she stepped out into a world
peopled by outre monsters
they moved among
plants in purple and orange
even skies of a peculiar hue
some ... things collected her
and her specimen
creatures unknown to science
and sent her machine
to an advanced research projects lab
to find out what it could do.

a wing flap from this butterfly
visible from space
sparks hurricanes across the globe

crops fail in its shadow
don't ask what it consumes
you don't want to know
