“Diary of an Alien Dervish
(Astrobiology Sonnet 2978)
I've descended from exploding stars,
and you think you with your
monkey mind can erase me,
you can own all the rockets, all the satellites,
all the armies, robots, and all the banks,
still you cannot dampen my nerve fibers
charged with lightning from the heavens -
you can keep your stoneage starcharts,
there is starlight bursting in my arteries,
there is comet-dust in my veins
that I haven't even used yet -
I'm a record of the universe,
I won't fit into your primate clock -
even a single eyelash of mine
is too big for your hemipheres,
I won't fit into your binary compass -
my heart contains rivers from across galaxies,
my lungs hold breath from the last universe -
I spin like a mad dervish, and particles
conspire to construct the cosmos in my wake.”

“I am mindful that scientific achievement is rooted in the past, is cultivated to full stature by many contemporaries and flourishes only in favorable environment. No individual is alone responsible for a single stepping stone along the path of progress, and where the path is smooth progress is most rapid. In my own work this has been particularly true.”
