The headline reads that

spiders travel hundreds

of miles on electricity.

That’s it.

That’s what

we’re missing.

Between dragonflies

and the speed of light,

sit the tips of Tao.

Rockets, then A-bombs.

EVs, and then pulsars -

we’ll ride microwaves

to Saturn by lunchtime

if we can succumb to

our numb tendencies.
