Slim E. Mould, communicating
from Alpha Centauri, lets me know
that Intelligence
(which is not intellect nor mere
factual, organised memory)
is not the property of an individual,
but a kind of grid or miasma
that can be plugged into, a bit
like the world wide web, but infinitely
less toxic. Alas! few people connect.
To do so you need first to disconnect.
Individualism (the long, lonely
night in a sleazy motel)
may be
the opposite of 'individuation'
which is the slipping in and out
of the unperceived cosmic gel.
Let us remember that all life on earth
derived from a single, haphazard cell.
