Some recent celestial observations

and the Atacama Large Millimeter/

Submillimeter Array (ALMA):

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.
