Tile like

This would be amazing tile if it were tile. But it’s not. It is rock.

It is orbicular granite from Finland, gorgeous. I took the photographs in a Danish Museum in Copenhagen in March 2022.

Nature just blows me away, all the time.

And the long necked shadow? Oh, yes, that’s a fossil dinosaur skeleton.

For the Ragtag Daily Prompt: tile.

I like this poem: http://seshatwuji.wordpress.com/2014/10/07/birth-of-the-global-brain/

I am posting a poem that I first posted on everything2 on June 6, 2014.

Evolution

The boys keep building machines
They get more and more complicated

The girls use the machines, some

The boys plug in
wire up
log on

The girls tweet
Sometimes they twerk

Some boys twerk too
And some girls log on

The boys write more languages
more programs
they translate from one to another
it all moves faster
They play games where they kill bosses
Online in groups
By the tens of thousands

It all looks a little insane

Don’t worry
Don’t fear

The boys keep building

In hopes that they will come

Some girls build
They hope they will come too

The girls are the Borg Queen
Some boys are too

“We will assimilate you,”
they say

The boys and girls say,

Yes

Please

Yes
