The beauty-lambda baryons particle
has been detected. Without this
particle, matter would not exist.
Resulting in a slight
asymmetry between
matter and antimatter.
Otherwise, matter and antimatter
totally cancel each other out and
nothingness would be the whole.
Instead, the part that
survived gave birth
to stars and planets
and in the primordial
disks of dust and gas,
isotopes of methanol
-mineral spirits -alchohol-
was present as a building block
for organic life. Spirits.
Is that what we seek
when we partake,
the spirits of corn
and barley... or the holy
spirit which connects
us to God?
The poets have often
seemed to seek that
infusion from a bottle
Dylan Thomas and Bukowski,
Kerouac. Did they find it
before it destroyed their lives?
Is that the sharp sting
under the sweetness
of whiskey, a taste
of the multibillion year-old
amniotic stew at the dawn
of light and galaxies?
What was God drinking
when last call arrived
and he looked around
and said I’m lonely, I think I’ll
toss some dice in the cup
and see what happens?
Did it come up craps
or boxcars,
seven come eleven?
And now we seek to monopolize
the power of the atom,
the mushroom cloud.
Are we Cain or Abel?
Truth is in the Spirit,
if we can find it. Cheers.
