POEMS (Episode 49) — The Shell Does Not Fly
Three Poems on Metamorphosis, Estrangement, and Consciousness
Eggshells cover a spherical wasteland, while a lesson asks whether a shell can take part in flight. A creature born without eyelids finds itself on dry land, surrounded by air. And a conversation between blood and algorithms leaves the meaning of consciousness unsettled.
Three poems about what it means to become something else — and whether change necessarily means progress.

the wasteland,
spherical,
as far as the eye can catch
nothing but eggshells
some floating, others in the wind
abandoned
no trace of an ostrich
one large yellow eye
scanning from that middle
the planet
do these shells believe themselves
the ultimate creation?
the apex predator,
the head of the food chain?
hahaha!
