Non-Definition of Non-I

by

Frank Valentyn

Time and distance separate
yet conjugate a connection:
all that is, is not me
but an alliance relativates,
makes relevant
those approximations of gnosis
that flee and scatter through this protein
that thinks that it thinks

There was a single trilobite in the Cambrian
that died as soon as it hatched
a fly in amber
a mite sublimated, atomised in lava flow
and a thousand hectares of mangrove
in Cochin China
that were not separate from this node
that thinks it writes
while converting part of the biostratum into norepinephrine
spiralling around a nuclear fire
