The Universe In A Nutshell

That’s it.

A walnut is a universe seed

expressing itself

evolving towards sentience,

towards the light,

self awareness.

Reproduction was the first clue

that the universe had an interest.

Trial and error was the way.

Natural selection inevitable given

eternity and infinite space.

For example, the universe is trying

to make me the hundredth monkey.

Utopia is just another other word

for Homosap’s shortfall.

It seems obvious, at this point, that

Homosap’s only a rung on the ladder…

except for Buddha, who made 

the aliens think twice.
