Man sent a machine

Man sent a machine
Made by his own hands
Hubble out into the universe
The tool maker
Physical manipulation
Dense nerves
Appendaegble digits
Opposable thumbs
Of primates that makes man an animal
Interphalaged articulation
Man move all but the mountain
Which are the dictates of nature’s
That will not reveal to man’s eyes
The dimensions that makes up life
The strings that binds complex and delicate
In the animal organs.
Man’s muscle belly of his forearm intrinsic.
Medico-legal practice determines sex by hands.
Hubble spectrograph man’s metal eyes.
Man microsecond mechanism quantum.
Man a buddle of energy in balance
Falling forward
The habit of the art of walking
Itself a spiritual practice
Meditation in action
As earth carries us through our desiny to dust.
Earth talking the walk
Walking on hands with spatial awareness
Of nature’s foot hold, land.
