| MURDER OF A MITE | |

This is an attempt to draw attention to the impenetrable questions of what constitutes animate awareness, intent, consciousness and our interaction with other living entities in all their complexity, even at a microscopic level. Thanks to those who have commented on the 'Keats' fragment. Yes, he had his ecstatic highs as well as his stygian lows. Maybe the fashionable addiction to opium had something to do with it. Murder of a Mite What deeds what needs What procreative lust Animates this minute speck of dust? A living entity Of intricate complexity, It moves, now fast, now slow, Alert, all systems on the go, While I decide its fate. It darts, it dodges - but, oh dear me, too late! Now just a smudge Soiling the finger of its casual judge: It had a life of sorts, But such a life defies my thoughts.
