Metamorphosis

The Past Parts Per Million

Soaring we imagine

Seeing far we think possible

The slightest movement

Sweeping wings precise

The scheme of leaves

Of fur

Of feather

Later the beak

The bones

The earth of air

We imagine

Soaring

The Now Parts Per Million
The Future Parts Per Million
The Ghostling Parts Per Million
The Rebirth of The Unknowable

Divided by The 8 billion

Becoming

The Vanishingly Small Parts Per 

The Ten Thousand Things


NOTE

On November 14 2022 the human population of This One Earth arrived at 8 billion; since January 2022, a net increase of 60 million (Births minus Deaths).
