I am eager
to relearn the world,
rethink the causes,
more clearly trace intelligence

I am eager to see
how every ant and every grass seed
uses its design in ways more fluid
than mechanics, in ways that birth the purpose,
on every scale at once,
of all of this – for, see,
it is all music,
and it’s all joy,
and there are so many places
for me to see this,
so many ways
for it to burst forth..
