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?
