"Complexity is both a marginal and an emergent phenomenon.
Never fixed or secure, the mobile site of complexity is always momentary
and the marginal moment of emergence is inevitably complex.
Far from a nunc stans, the emergent moment,
which repeatedly constitutes and reconstitutes the flux of time,
harbors a momentum that keeps everything in motion.
It is significant that the word "moment" derives from the Latin momentum,
which means movement as well as momentum.
Though often represented as a simple point,
the moment is inherently complex.
Its boundaries cannot be firmly established,
for they are always shifting in ways that make the moment fluid.
This is the intermediate domain
that
complexity theory attempts to understand."

we erupt
little bits
molten
changing state
firming
mind,
more pliable than flesh
spirit,
seldom seen
surrounded by pretty things

to sit and neglect oneself?

Hi fiddle-dee-dee
A schlepper’s life for me
Where the best grinds of my generation
Lie dark-roasted and vacuum-packed
On the fly-specked shelves of the Piggly Wiggly
Where rats make the beast
Afterwards gnawing a communal Chesterfield
Contemplating that sweet old by-and by
As rats will do
Where night crews feast on Twinkies and Sandeman’s port
And play fast and loose with matchbook dreams
Famous Writers’ School, Belgian mercenary training
Lawn mower repair technology
(Bennet Cerf cackles madly, riding his Black and Decker into battle
AK47 blazing
Pen leaking)
Where great piles of rotting eggs still in their cartons
Mark loading dock crossroads where Staggerlee
Sold his double coupons to the Devil
(There were Gino’s Pizza Rolls in Hell that night)
Where peas are both process and product
And cold discipline for the quirky taste buds of our young
The Giant’s Baby Le Sieurs be damned!
(And that goes double for the Sprout)
Where cloned Scottish sheep are but half the equation
Of loaves and chops for the multitudes
And haggis for gin-pickled Magog
Where waxed produce languishes in bleachwater showers
And potatoes cast a jaundiced eye at stockboys
Stealing priceless envelopes of saffron on a dare
Where the crocus sang
As it stained the risotto
Where the crocus sang
With the sweet corn and peas
Where the crocus sang
Andante ma non troppo
Where the crocus sang
And it was sangin’ for me
Sangin’ for me
It was sangin’ for me
