Rudiments

Emerging as we all do from

the rudiments of the miraculously

unforgettable – which at the moment

we become incarnate we forget –

they feel like they have won a bet:

they find themselves – alive!

Four of them arrive at once, together,

as if they’ve been goosed by some

exorbitant genetic drive – conducing

to some large quadruple mission

to contribute some unprecedented

something to our teeming human hive.

They don’t care much what it is:

right now they see the swimming

pool below them of existence

and they want to take a dive.
