Nature's bounty
feeds industry
supplying markets
selling Mankind
their own hopes and dreams

Deep time
observes this flow
of Materialism
in awe that all
returns to Earth
after all troubles
of delivering Mankind
most fruits of labor
and returned in such
crude form

Forms evolve
despite Platonic theory
of permanent truth
and stoic harmony,
in the tumult
and reinvention
of definition
that is Life

Finished products are
merely on sabbatical
until returned
to Earth's
zero altitude orbit

Sheltered
there
until needed again
in recycled reduced reused
form
that Plato thought so highly
penultimate, pfft

Far reaches
of galaxies
will attest
to an infinity of forms
for which a cat will sue
multiple definitions
completely different
for the same word
like some mandarin subtlety
or asemic hieroglyphic

Circling Oceans
of hopes and dreams
delivers Mankind
in the tumult
and reinvention
to zero altitude’s
infinitesimal form
