GEO BIO METRICS
start with a hand (cubits/horses
a foot (the King’s..
walk a pace
at a human rate
(there are no straight lines in a human body..
like rivers around one pumping heart (tribes/cities..
four score years and ten
most between five and six feet
(the irregular like feet in line..poetry from prosody
every breath uncounted
yet we still stop in time
DNA, finger/foot prints, iris diagnosis
every snowflake unique – and yet
no two prisons are alike
every school is detention
and when we shuffle this mortal coil
it unwinds like a snake
(two snakes, o Aescheplus!
there are no terrorists
only freedom flighters
there are no governments
only terrorizers
there are no straight lines in nature
only in bullets, production lines, rifles ,bombs
and graves in rows stacks like bodies in Palestine
