Molluscs on the cusp
Sea Coweries in the vaults of Djibouti
Tyrenian purple, the Cyprian sea
Will another Mollusc be lost
Crushed for the raiments of Royalty?
The rails roads and cockles, our history
Oysters of England, eaten to extinction
That newly mobile population.
What fate Chrysomallon Squamiferum
The Sea Pangolin
Alternative to magnetite and appoferretin
Given a Linnaen line
One brief page
Between discovery and oblivion.
Histones, e.cigarettes, snail shells, phores
Mathematics of the Iron Spiral, key to civlisation
And survival. There is no rival system
The end of history, that begun in clay
+/-,+/-,+/- polarity, the shale beds formed that way
The ubiquity of Coca-Cola, McDonalds
No clowns, the inequity
The West is molly-coddled now.
We will all cook
On gas or electric
At home in solitary, screaming silence
Hoping not to get infected
The long boom, the long duree. Energy
Our mitochondria, eukaryotic, prophetic
It could not be clearer
Life began when a virus infected bacteria.
