Since long before their
London Times,
the story, here, now,
Has ever, always been
Blake or Sir Bacon.
And “the Sun is the same in a relative way.”1
All along the ley,
Wreaths of, heather, thyme and willow,
and miner’s bloody ramparts
Collide on trackways.
Lay of land’s
Roads of yesterday,
today, and beyond.
Dusted by plumin’ black smoke percolate.
And Clockwork Mills ticking, ticking.
Product, money, time.
Spinning wheels and gears,
Rollin’ up the line
Churning churning
Commuter traffic whine.
Pedal to the metal!
“Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme. ”2
Look out! Traffic Jam!
Risk a fatal!
Crunching metal, plastic, glass
Railroad wreckage
Spews the road!
HS2’s,3 off the tracks!
power shaft; Revolving.
Old Oak Tree, dropping nuts.
A-corns A plenty, Abound Along the ways,
Paper blowing
In the Wind….
“The.Empire of Man over nature… the power to conquer and subdue her, to shake her to her foundation, to bind her to your service and make her your slave… the inquisition of nature… dominion over creation”
Sir Francis Bacon, 1st Viscount St. Alban,
King’s Council, aka Lord Verulam (1561-1626)
“The tree which moves some to tears of joy is in the eyes of others only a green thing that stands in the way. Some see nature all ridicule and deformity… and some scarce see nature at all. But to the eyes of the man of imagination, nature is imagination itself.”
William Blake (1757-1827)
