H2O, H2O EVERYWHERE

I see many movies and other stories about an inevitable, impending water shortage on Earth, a stark, arid planet populated by Humans on never-ending quests for fresh H2O, maybe its because some folks just need more things to be insecure about. 

I thought about a Condensation Console, like the cowling for a 26 inch television, converted to allow the sun to the panes of glass, brass, whatever we find that's most suitable for creating clean water...

If we want to put snow back on the mountains, we have to Re-green the deserts, declare all raindrops and spring runoff as precious, ease regular lowland flooding by tapping downhill flow at higher altitudes...

if the front of the console is arrayed with magnifying lenses corresponding to the number of panes inside...

a hole drilled into the Earth, fitted with a pipe-frame that supports its own meshing, to allow cool air to rise into the console, (may have to use a solar-powered cooling plant in some areas, no problem), the pipe holds a light fan, like out of a computer's...

There are shutters on the front of the console that close away from the Sun, creating a completely darkened interior...

there is a bio-degradable water tank in the ground fed by many units...

the hard-packed deserts will be easy and ought to be the place to start...

Imagine each acre bordered by trees, and quartered by hedges,

Imagine millions of square miles of the Earth protected from the Sun by camouflage netting, 

Imagine communities on the west coast competing to save and ship the most rain water in the winter and spring, utilizing existing pipelines meant for something else,

the temperature inside the consoles arrayed all over the south-west U. S. hits a certain level, the shutters close away from the Sun,  and the fan in the ground-pipe switches on, blowing cooler air up into the console, powerful air blown hard and circulating back around into the unit...

We can harness new water at 70 degrees F;

Maybe the unit's interior is chrome, maybe the interior stays super hot all day and just continues to process H2O;

Kevin, have ADHD and other wiring issues that mess with me and are affected by my diet, sleep, an environment, and I can not keep days in a row, or recall recent events immediately, plus ground hog Day Syndrome makes yesterday about 10 days ago.

Imagine descending snow-lines on the Rockies and other ranges;

Imagine Lakes Mead and Chad, and the Aral and Salton Seas, replenished.

Imagine the world before, according to some history's about our time on Earth, our earliest ancestors left the oceans and found better food in great abundance all around the  planet, and saturated the grassy lowlands that are today's deserts, leading to devastation of forests by empires even now.

We'll likely end up (s)melting the great sand dunes of the Sahara and other places where the desert is not hard-packed, done right we might produce a fireproof, lightweight lumber that we use in space;

enough for now, terry mm

The Inbred Race + Hierarchies

THE INBRED RACE HAS TO LIVE

IN HIERARCHIES, THE INBRED

RACE HAS A CAVE BRAIN, A

BRAIN DENIED PERIPHERAL

ILLUMINATION, HAVING GENER-

ATED THROUGH FOUR LEGGEDNESS

LIVING IN TUNNELS, WE ALL

LEFT THE TUNNELS WHEN WE

GAINED HEARING, THEN THE

FIRST 4-LEGGED HUMANS NEAR

TREES BEGAN A FUTURE OF LIV-

ING OUTDOORS,

WHILE THE PRAIRIE DWELLER

MOVED INTO DENS, THEN LAIRS,

THEN CAVES, THEN HOUSES WITH

NO WINDOWS ON THE SIDE AND

THE KITCHEN IN THE BACK…

Human Shrews

PICTURE THE MIGHTY SHREW,

A TINY RODENT WHO REQUIRES

THREE TIMES IT’S BODY WEIGHT

IN FOOD EACH 24 HOUR DAY,

THIS MAKES IT LESS FEARFUL

AND MORE VICIOUS THAN ANY

MAMMAL CLOSE TO ITS SIZE,

LIKE SOME HUMAN INFANTS +

CHILDREN WHO NEED MORE

CALORIES PER DAY THAN MOST

KIDS THE SAME WEIGHT,

BUT UNLIKE THE SHREW WE

KNOW ON EARTH,

IMAGINE A SHREW THAT LIVES IN

MULTI-GENERATIONAL COLONIES,

SMART, STRONG, FAST, DETERMINED,

EXISTING AMONG OTHER OF THE

SAME ESSENCE, PROUD TO BE

A PART OF A POWERFUL COMMUNITY

THAT PROTECTED ALL OF ITS BABIES,

GANGED UP AND ATE ALL INTRUDERS,

AND FOUGHT FOR ITS LIFE AND WOULD

FIGHT ANYTHING TO THE DEATH;

THEN LET THIS ENTITY BE PLAYFUL…

IMAGINE THIS HUNGRY,

HUNGRY LITTLE BEAST

ONE DAY DISCOVERS AN

OVERABUNDANCE OF VERY

SPECIAL FOODS

AND GROWS TO

THE SIZE OF A

MONGOOSE,

A GREAT BIG SHREW,

A TALLER HEAVIER,

SMARTER, STRONGER,

FASTER MAMMAL,

A SOLO HUNTER WITH A

CONNECTION TO POSITIVE

COMMUNITY ENERGY,

DWELLING IN MULTI-

GENERATIONAL COLONIES,

AND CONTINUES GROWING

UP TO THE SIZE OF THE

MIGHTY PUMA, THE LION

OF THE MOUNTAINS, A

SOLO HUNTER, YET LIVING IN

COLONIES OF SOLO HUNTERS,

WOW, AND SO GIFTED WITH

ASSETS DENIED THE PACK

PREDATOR, WHO MUST LIVE

IN A HIERARCHY MAINTAINED

THROUGH STRINGENT

PROGRAMMING OF PUPPIES,

WHO WOULD RATHER RUN

WILD AND CHASE EVERYTHING

IN SIGHTTHAN LIVE IN A

STRUCTURE WHERE ONE

LEADER STRUTS WITH TAIL

IN THE AIR, WHILE OTHERS’

TAILS BOB UP AND DOWN,

DEPENDING ON WHO THEY’RE

AROUND;

THE POOR CANINE BRAIN IS BORN

WITH THE EYES CROSSING AT SOME

POINT IN FRONT OF THE FACE, A

BRAIN THAT CAN HEAR PERIMETER

SOUNDS WHEN FOCUSSED IN FRONT,

LIKE THOSE GOLFERS AND TENNIS

PLAYERS,

OR ANYONE WHO CANNOT

CLEAR THEIR MECHANISM THAT

ALLOWS FOR THE DEAFNESS TO

SURROUNDING SOUND, LIKE THE

TEAM SPORTSPERSON WHO CAN

IGNORE PERIPHERAL NOISES

WHILE EYES ARE LOCKED IN

CONCENTRATION;

IMAGINE THE MIGHTY SHREW

GROWING THROUGH MONGOOSE

SIZE TO MOUNTAIN LION SIZE,

AND STILL GROWING, AND

DESTINED SOME DAY TO

STAND UP ON ITS BACK

LEGS, STRONGER SMARTER,

FASTER, FAR MORE VICIOUS,

CLEVER, CUNNING, ABLE TO

SEE FAR AND YET PICK UP

PERIPHERAL ACTIVITY,

HAVING EARNED THE

RESPONSIBILITIES

OF THE WARDENS OF

THEIR ENVIRONMENT;

BORN TO PROTECT ALL BABIES,

ABLE TO GANG UP ON INTRUDERS

CREATE AN INVIABLE PERIMETER,

AN AMINAL WITH AN ATTRACTION

TO TURMOIL,

AND THE INATE DESIRE TO BE THE

FIRST TO FACE DANGER, AND THE

SUPERIORITY ISSUES THAT COMES

WITH BEING ABLE TO FIGHT FOR

ITS LIFE TILL IT WAS DEAD…

We Have Been Betrayed

WE HAVE BEEN BETRAYED,

EVERYBODY KNOWS THE

HUMAN SPIRIT

MUST BE BROKEN

TO MAKE US OPT INTO

A RANKING SYSTEM,  

 

ASSAIL OUR SELF ESTEEM,

TELL US WE'RE BORN MEAN,

FULL OF SIN AND IN NEED

OF REDEMPTION

REDUCE US TO

A NARROW VISION;

THEN FORCE US

TO ACCEPT THAT LIFE

MUST BE LIVED IN A

TIERED ENVIRONMENT,

WHERE THOSE MOST DIMINISHED

OF THE HUMANITY WE'RE ALL BORN WITH

HAVE ASSUMED THAT THEIR'S

IS ALL THE HIGHER GROUND,

AND SENT TENDRILS OUT

TO SEEK SOMETHING PRECIOUS,

TO MAKE UP FOR

WHAT'S LACKING

WITHIN,

TRUE HISTORY SHOWS THAT

CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY

CARRIED OUT BY DYNASTY

AND PEDIGREE,

THAT ALL TECHNO-ADVANCEMENT

THAT MAIM AND KILL,

THAT THE POPULATION

OF THIS PLANET

MUST TOLERATE

TINY CLUSTERS

OF THOSE OF US

WHO WOULD STILL BREAK

OUR CHILDREN'S WILL

AS A GENERATIONAL RULE,

HAVE HAD LITTLE TO DO

WITH OUR SPECIES'

ADVANCEMENT

TOWARDS THE

HUMAN WORLD,

EXCEPT TO REMIND US

OF OUR ANIMAL PAST,

HUMANS WILL SHARE

WITHOUT LIVING IN FEAR

OF BEING TARGETTED

BY THOSE OF US

WHO CAN'T HELP

BUT PRACTICE HATE

BECAUSE OUR WORLDS

GOT SO SMALL

WHEN WE WERE

TOLD THAT WE'RE ALL

BORN EVIL, UGLY, AND SINFUL...

BUT IF OUR SPIRIT

IS NOT BROKEN

WE'LL REBEL AGAINST

IMPOSED HIERARCHY

WE'LL FIGHT BACK

WHEN FACED WITH BULLIES,

THEN WE GET THE

WORLD THAT WE SEE

WHEN WE TURN

ON THE BLESSED TV,

WHERE STRAY DOG BRAINS

THAT SCRAPE AND DIG,

AND LEAVE THE EARTH

GLEANED OF ALL THAT LIVES,

START WARS FOR TERRITORY,

LAND, PLUNDER,

AND IDEOLOGY,

HISTORICALLY WE'VE

ORCHESTRATED FAMINE

ON A GLOBAL SCALE,

THE ELEMENT THAT

TEACHES HATE

HAS TAKEN TO

DENYING FOOD,

HEALING AND SAFETY,

FROM ANTI-HUMANITY

BULLIES, DIMINISHED OF

WHAT WE'RE ALL BORN WITH,

OR MAYBE I'M

ALL WRONG ABOUT IT,

AND SOME FOLKS KIDS

ARE JUST BORN ANIMAL WITH

AN INABILITY TO

EMBRACE HUMANITY

AND FORCED TO THINK THAT

WE'RE ALL STLLL IN THE CAVE

A RENAISSANCE OF

SEVEN BILLION

LOVING, BRAVE AND

FORWARD-THINKING,

HAS ALREADY BEGUN

EVERYWHERE WE LOOK,

HUMANS EMBRACING

EACH OTHER,

HIGH-FIVES, HUGS,

AND EVEN FIST BUMPS,

LITTLE SIGNS OF THE FUTURE

WORLD THAT KIDS WILL

BE BORN INTO

SOMEDAY,

WHERE BEING SCARED OF

STRANGERS WON'T EXIST

WHERE ANSWERING TO

ADULTS, OR ANYONE JUST

CUZ THEY'RE BIGGER

WILL BE DISCOURAGED

AS A RULE,

WHERE HUMAN

SENIORS,

KIDS AND THOSE

AMONG US

WOUNDED, SICK OR

SUFFERING FROM

DAMAGED DNA,

WE'LL FINALLY REALIZE

THAT WE'RE HERE TO

CIRCLE THE SPECIES'

AND MAKE SURE THAT

WE CAN ALL MOVE AHEAD

WITH SPIRITS STRONG

AND UNDAMAGED,

TO FEED AND HEAL

AND SHARE AND FEEL

AND MAYBE SOMEDAY

REALLY GIVE A DAMN,

HUMANITY SURE HELPS

US TO BE AWARE,

TO BE CONCERNED

AND REALLY CARE

TO FEEL COMPASSION

FOR THE INJURED,

MAYBE SOME OF US

ALREADY EMPATHIZE...

A Human History

PAGE 0NE- 1^ST HALF- STAGE ONE

OUT OF THE WATER,

IMAGINE A BEAST BORN ON

LAND BUT MEANT TO LIVE

ITS LIFE IN THE OCEAN,

LIKE THOSE SEA TORTOISES;

IMAGINE A GREEN, GREEN,

GREEN PLANET, WITH

THICK FORESTS AND

JUNGLES SHARE THE

LAND WITH PRAIRIES

AND MOUNTAINS,

HEALTHY RIVERS

FEEDING CLEAN LAKES,

A BLOOMING PLANET,

NOT YET RIDDLED

WITH DESERTS AND

WIDE SANDY BEACHES;

A CIRCLE OF LIFE

THAT WOULD BE

DISRUPTED FOREVER

BY A CREATURE’S

DENIAL OF ITS

OWN INSTINCT;

THERE COULD HAVE BEEN

A TIME ON EARTH ALL AT

ONCE, ALL OVER EARTH,

A CREATURE BOUND BY

INSTINCT TO SPEND YEARS

IN THE OCEAN,

RARELY RETURNING TO

LAND IN ITS LIFESPAN,

MIGHT HAVE BROKEN

WITH ITS OWN GENETIC

HISTORY, AND DECIDED

TO STAY AWAY FROM

THE WATER, MAYBE

BECAUSE THE BEACH

WAS PROBABLY STREWN

WITH THE HALF-EATEN

REMAINS OF THE PREVIOUS

HATCHLINGS, WHO WERE

FED ON BY TERNS, GULLS,

AND CRABS.

AND SO A FEAR COULD HAVE RIPPLED

THROUGH ALL THE NEWBORNS ONE DAY

ALL OVER EARTH, A FEAR BASED ON

SURVIVAL.

IMAGINE THE LITTLE TORTOISE-TYPE

BABIES TURNED TOWARDS SHADE

AND DARKNESS, AND FOUND A WORLD

OF ENDLESS TASTY PLANTS RIGHT

THERE AT THE EDGE OF THE SEA;

IMAGINE THOUSANDS OF HUNGRY

NEWBORNS FINDING DELICIOUS

FOOD AT THE HIGH TIDE MARK,

OFFERING COVERAGE AND ENERGY

AS IT ESCAPED THE CARNAGE ON

THE BEACH;

THEN MAYBE, AS MORE AND MORE

OF THESE CREATURES

HATCHED, THE FIRST

TO STAY WERE FORCED

EVER INLAND, STICKING

TO COASTAL LOWLANDS;

IT MIGHT HAVE BEGAN

GROWING TOO FAST FOR

ITS SHELL TO FORM AS

ONE PIECE;

IF ITS EYES WERE FOR LIVING

IN SALT WATER, IT MIGHT

HAVE GONE BLIND FOR

A FEW GENERATIONS;

AND IT MIGHT HAVE HAD THICK,

HEAVY MEMBRANES

IN ITS NOSES AND EARS,

SO ITS SENSES OF HEARING

AND SCENT COULD NOT

DETECT MUCH,

MOTIVATED BY HUNGER, FUELLED

WITH TOO MUCH REALLY

GOOD FOOD, AND PROPELLED

BY ITS YOUNGER SISTERS

AND BROTHERS, IT SWARMED

TOWARDS THE INTERIOR

PRAIRIES, PUSHED INTO

RIVERS AND LAKES, INTO

PREDATOR PLACES, OVER

CLIFFS INTO CANYONS,

AND INTO THE EDGE OF

FORESTS AND JUNGLES

ALL AROUND THE PLANET,

IT SWARMED THE INLAND

LOWLANDS.

1-2

ACROSS THE LOWLANDS

AND INTO PRAIRIES,

TUNNELS AND TREES

BLIND AND DEAF,

COULDN’T SMELL

A THING, MAYBE

IT KEPT GROWING

LARGER EVERY MINUTE,

NEW BABIES ALWAYS

BIGGER,

MEMBRANES IN NOSES

AND EARS COULD HAVE

BEEN STRETCHING,

IT COULD HAVE HAD

FREAKY HUGE LEGS,

ITS RIBS COULD HAVE

FORMED A HUMP, THAT

BEGAN TO DESCEND

DOWN AROUND ITS

BREASTBONE;

UP AGAINST FORESTS

AND JUNGLES, IT MAY

HAVE FOUND SAFETY

IN BURROWS, QUICK

GESTATION, LARGE

LITTERS, SHELLED

FETUSSES WOULD

HAVE GESTATED IN

THE GROUND, IT WOULD

BECOME A MAMMAL;

-IMAGINE THAT CARNIVORES

ALL AROUND EARTH POUNCE

ON SUDDEN TASTY ABUNDANT

FOOD SOURCE RUNNING AROUND,

IMAGINE THAT OCEAN INSTINCTS

CAUSE THIS NEW MAMMAL

TO BE ATTRACTED TO TURMOIL,

POOR SIGHT NOT AN ISSUE,

MAYBE IT SWARMED ALL

PREDATORS, MANY WOULD

HAVE DIED, ATTACKERS

GOT EATEN, PROTEIN IN

ITS KILLERS HELPS IT GROW;

IT MIGHT HAVE KEPT MOVING INLAND

ON LOW FLATLANDS, COLONIZING

NEAR TREES, PUSHED OFF CLIFFS

AND INTO CARNIVORE COUNTRY

BY MOMENTUM OF BILLIONS;

CHANGING INTO MAMMAL, RIVER OTTER

SIZED AND GROWING;

IMAGINE EARS PICKING UP CLOSE SOUNDS,

EYES REALIZING LIGHT IN THE SHADOWS,

NOSTRILS START DETECTING SCENTS,

IMAGINE BURROWS BECOMING TUNNELS;

2- 1

OUT OF THE TUNNELS- BETTER

HEARING, MAYBE, IN JUST

ONE OR TWO GENERATIONS

ON LAND, THE SOUND AROUND IT

GREW AS ITS EARS GOT BIGGER

AND DEFENCE AGAINST THE SEA

WEAKENED, ITS MOMS WOULD GAIN

ENOUGH HEARING TO REALIZE

TUNNELS WERE BAD FOR BABIES;

IMAGINE BILLIONS OF THEM ALL OVER

EARTH CLOSE TO THE EQUATOR,

WERE LIKELY TAKEN BY ITS MOMS

OUT OF THE TUNNELS AND INTO

SOLO DENS WITH ONLY ONE ENTRANCE,

THAT WOULD BE A MILESTONE;

ITS BRAINS AND EYES LIT UP,

HEARING AND SCENT WORKING;

NEAR TREES IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN INTERESTED

IN EVERYTHING IT DISCOVERED EACH DAY,

GROWING, AN OMNIVOROUS DIET MAKES

FOR STRONG, HEALTHY BABIES;

MAYBE IT HAD NO FEAR, FIRST IN

THE FACE OF DANGER;

HUNGRY AND ALWAYS GROWING

BIGGER AND STRONGER THAN

PREVIOUS GENERATIONS;

GROWING LARGER, STRONGER,

FASTER, PLAYFUL, HAPPY,

LIVING NEAR TREES,

IT MIGHT HAVE SPENT ALL

OF ITS TIME RUNNING,

REACHING, CLIMBING,

STRETCHING; LEAPING;

BABIES BORN IN BURROWS

WITHOUT SHELLS, MAYBE

ITS SHELLS THAT HAD

FORMED ON RIB FRAME

WERE TOO SLOW TOO GROW,

AND HUNG IN CHUNKS,

THEN FELL OFF NEW FUR;

ELEVATED TO BRANCHES,

HUGE LEGS DEVELOP

RETRACTABLE CLAWS,

LIKE A PARROT’S BEAK,

PROTECTED BY A PARROT’S

BEAK, IT COULD HAVE

BEEN VERY QUICK, IT

WOULD HAVE HAD TO BE

A GREAT KILLER TO

CREATE PEACEFUL

ENVIRONMENT TO

RAISE ALL OF ITS

COMMUNITY’S INFANTS

WITHOUT HAVING TO

RUN FROM CONSTANT

PREDATION FROM

CARNIVORES THAT

MAYBE LOVED THE

TASTE OF ITS BABIES

MORE THAN ANY OTHER

FOOD THEY’D EVER EATEN;

MOST MIGHT HAVE LIVED

OUTSIDE NEAR FORESTS

AND JUNGLES, SCORCHING

GRASSLANDS, MAYBE IT

RESORTED TO TREES

FOR MILLENIA OF

OMNIVOROUS DIET;

2-2

REACHING AND CLIMBING,

RUNNING AND PLAYING,

OMNIVOROUS NEAR TREES,

ON THE PRAIRIES, IT

WOULD HAVE BEGUN TO

SCORCH EARTH AROUND

TUNNEL HEADS;

IT CAN HEAR! AND NEW

HEARING SENSE MAY

HAVE CAUSED ACTIVITY

IN THE BRAIN, MAYBE

CAUSING IT TO SPARK UP

ELECTRICALLY;

UP AGAINST TREES, LIMITLESS

FOOD SUPPLY, IT WOULD

HAVE HAD AN OMNIVOROUS

DIET, FEEDING ON PLANTS,

INSECTS, AND ANY OF THE

PREDATORS WOULD HAVE

BEEN CONSTANTLY

TRYING TO FEED ON IT;

STILL GROWING, MAYBE BADGER SIZE

MAYBE ITS RIBS WERE

FALLING AROUND ITS

BREASTBONE, GIVING

IT HUGE LUNGS TO GO

WITH ITS FREAKY LEGS;

HEARING, EYESIGHT AND SENSE

OF SMELL WERE IMPROVING,

REACHING, CLIMBING,

STRETCHING, PLAYING,

HUNTING, RUNNING,

IT WAS PROBABLY

INTERESTED IN

EVERYTHING;

IT MIGHT HAVE USED

DENS TO HAVE BABIES

THEN CLIMBED UP TO

THE BRANCHES FOR

COMMUNITY LIVING

IN PROTECTED PODS,

MAYBE SLEPT IN PILES

ON THE GROUND;

OCEAN RADAR MIGHT HAVE HELPED

IT BECOME HYPER ALERT

WHEN AWAKE AND STILL

A LITTLE AWARE WHEN SLEEPING;

ITS VISION WOULD CLEAR,

HEARING WOULD IMPROVE,

IT MIGHT HAVE NOTICED

LARGER BABIES IN

SMALLER LITTERS,

THEN PROTECTION OF BABIES

COULD HAVE BECOMES

ITS PRIMARY PURPOSE;

IMAGINE TRAITS OF MUSTULIDAE,

FELINE, CANINE, MONGOOSE,

RODENT MAKING A COMPLETE

MAMMAL;

IMAGINE IT FLOURISHING

NEAR THE JUNGLES

AND FORESTS ALL

OVER EARTH,

BABIES OF EACH LITTER

BIGGER, SMARTER, STRONGER,

FASTER THAN THOSE OF EACH

PREVIOUS LITTER, GROWING

TOWARDS A STATE OF WALKING

ON TWO BACK LEGS EVENTUALLY,

BUT NOT FOR MANY GENERATIONS;

3-1

IMAGINE IT GREW FAST

EVERY DAY, AND EACH

CHILD COULD HAVE

GROWN LARGER THAN

ITS PARENTS ON VARIED

DIET NEAR THE TREES;

DEVELOPMENT SLOWER ON

THE GRASSLANDS WHERE

THOSE WHO LIVED FAR

FROM FORESTS AND

JUNGLES LACKED

STEADY PROTEIN;

THOSE ANIMALS MAY HAVE

SCORCHED THE EARTH

AROUND DEN CLUSTERS;

NEAR TREES IMAGINE A

NATURAL SHARER THAT

COULD HAVE EVOLVED,

HEALTHY BABIES, NO

RUNTS, NO STILLBORNS;

COMMUNITY LIFE IN TREES,

LOVED TO PLAY, RUN

LIKE THE MUSTULIDAE,

THE WEASEL, THE OTTER,

THE WOLVERINE;

IT PROBABLY SLEPT IN PILES,

SOMETIMES DUG SOLO DENS

TO HAVE BABIES, THEN

CARRIED INFANTS INTO

TREES;

ITS GESTATION PERIOD COULD

HAVE BEEN LENGTHENING,

AND MAYBE IT HAD FEWER

BABIES PER LITTER;

STILL GROWING BIGGER EVERY

GENERATION, BODY SIZE

CATCHING UP TO BULKY LEGS;

IMPROVING EYES, EARS, AND NOSES

MAYBE MADE IT BECOME

HYPER-ALERT TO DANGER,

AND INTERESTED IN EVERYTHING,

3-2

GETTING BIGGER ALL THE TIME, MAYBE

ABOUT THE SIZE OF A WOLVERINE;

THOSE NEAR TREES…

THOSE STUCK OUT ON THE PRAIRIES…

EYES AND EARS GETTING SHARP

FOR CLOSE DISTANCES;

     SMART- BRAIN WORKING

BETTER EVERY DAY;

     STRONG- EVERY FIBER,

EVERY BONE HEALTHY

AND EVERY MUSCLE

HIGH-PERFORMANCE;

FASTER THAN ANYTHING OF

THE SAME SIZE, AND

IT MIGHT HAVE RUN

REALLY FAST JUST

BECAUSE IT LIKED

TO RUN REALLY FAST,

LIKE HORSES AND DOGS,

NOT MERELY AS FAST

AS ITS FASTEST FOOD;

LEARNING ABOUT FIRE;

DON’T EAT EGGS;

LEARNING TO DRAW

SPIDERS AND SNAKES;

ULTRA VIGILANCE NOT ENOUGH

TO PROTECT YOUNG FROM

EVERY DANGER;

VISION OPENING UP WIDER THAN

IF IT STAYED IN TUNNELS;

ILLUMINATION OF PERIPHERAL

RANGE STARTS DEVELOPMENT

OF 3-D VISION, NECESSARY

FOR MEMORY;

COLONIZED CLOSE BY WHEN

POPULATION TAXED

DEVELOPING THE HARDEST NAILS

IN THE ANIMAL WORLD;

MUSTULIDAE, FELINE,

CANINE, MONGOOSE,

RODENT ASSETS;

PROTECTION OF ALL BABIES

ITSPRIMARY PURPOSE,

GANGED UP ON

ALL INTRUDERS;

FOUGHT FOR ITS LIFE UNTIL

IT WAS DEAD,

4-1

HUGE LUNGS, BIG BACK LEGS,

SOME OF THOSE WHO

LIVED NEAR TREES

COULD HAVE BEEN

ACHIEVING RIDICULOUS

SPEEDS, IT COULD HAVE

RUN FASTER THAN

ANY OF ITS PREY,

AND SO IT PROBABLY

RAN FAST, FAST, FAST,

BECAUSE IT COULD;

IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN

SLEEPING IN PILES,

LIKE RIVER OTTERS;

IT LIKELY LOVED TO

PLAY, EAT, MATE,

HUNT, INSPECT,

PROTECT, RUN,

AND LEARN;

IT WAS PROBABLY INTERESTED

IN EVERYTHING CLOSE TO

IT, THE IMAGES, SMELLS,

AND SOUNDS MIGHT HAVE

CAUSED ITS BRAIN TO

WORK ALL THE TIME

THAT IT WAS AWAKE;

IT MIGHT HAVE NOTICED

OVER TIME THAT ITS

LITTERS WERE SMALLER,

BUT THE FEWER BABIES

WERE BIGGER;

TRAITS OF MUSTULIDAE, A VICIOUS

INDIVIDUAL, PLAYFUL,

COULD WORK TORGETHER,  

HYPER-VIGILANT DEFENDERS

OF BABIES;

FELINE, SMART, STRONG, FAST,

PATIENT, LOVING, A SOLO

ACT THAT COULD WORK

WELL WITH OTHERS, OR NOT;

CANINE, GREAT TEAM PLAYER

UNDER GOOD LEADERSHIP,

A MONSTER IN A MOB,

LOYAL, A DAY HUNTER,

COULD BE OVERLY STRICT

WITH ITS OWN PUPPIES,

COULD LIVE IN MULTI-

GENERATIONAL GROUPS

FOR LIFE;

MONGOOSE, DANGEROUS, INTELLIGENT,

A COMMUNITY DWELLER,

A STRANGER TO FEAR;

THE MIGHTY RODENT, A GREAT MULTIPLIER,

MASSIVE MULTI-GENERATIONAL

COMMUNITIES, HUNGRY, CURIOUS,

PLAYFUL, INTELLIGENT;

IMAGINE THE BEAST NEAR

THE TREES, OMNIVOROUS

AND STILL GROWING,

STRONG, SMART, FAST,

HEARING AND EYESIGHT

BECOMING ACUTE,

ATHLETIC, YET VERY

DANGEROUS TO ALL

OTHER BEASTS,

ESPECIALLY INTRUDERS;

IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN DRAWING

IMAGES OF ENEMIES,

PESTS EVERYWHERE;

DOWNHILL FLOW OF WATER WOULD

HAVE BEEN REALIZED THROUGH

OPEN EYES THAT COULD SEE IN 3-D;

LEARNING HOW TO FLANK,

TARGETING THE BEST

MEAT FROM FRONT OF HERD,

MIGHT HAVEREVISITED SMOKING

HABITATS AFTER WILDFIRES,

COULD HAVE FOUND SPOT FIRES

AND BAR-B-Q-ED BEASTS,

IT PROBABLY LOVED THE

TASTE OF COOKED MEAT;

IT WOULD HAVE BEGUN PROTECTING

FAVORITE HERDS FROM

BLITZ-ATTACKING,

STRAGGLER-EATING,

LESSER CARNIVORES;

MAYBE SOME OF THEM COULD

RUN EIGHTY MILES PER HOUR,

ALL OF THEM COULD RUN FOR

EIGHTY MILES WITHOUT STOPPING;

4/2-

LAST HALF OF LAST STAGE OF 4-LEGGEDNESS

THIS INCREDIBLE ANIMAL,

GIFTED WITH ASSETS OF ALL

THE GREAT MAMMALS, NOW

AS LONG AS IT COULD GET

ON FOUR LEGS, WITH RIBS

DESCENDED ALL THE WAY

AROUND THE SPINE, AND

A HEAD DESTINED TO

FACE THE SKY, MIGHT

HAVE STARTED SWINGING

DOWN FROM LOWEST

BRANCHES, LANDING ON

BACK LEGS, THEN TAKING

A FEW STEPS, BEFORE

DROPPING ONTO ALL FOURS;

AND MAYBE IT COULD SLOW

DOWN TO A SPEED THAT

WOULD ALLOW IT TO LIFT

THE FRONT PAWS WHILE IT    

CRANED ITS NECK TO GET

A WIDER RANGE OF VIEW;

ALL THOSE BORN OF THIS CREATURE WERE

SOULMATES FROM BIRTH TO DEATH, NO

MATTER WHERE IT LIVED ON THE PLANET;

IT LIKELY COULD FATHOM

THE DOWNHILL FLOW

OF WATER, AND LEARNED

THAT ACTIONS UPRIVER

AFFECTED THE HEALTH

OF THE WATER DOWN STREAM;

IT KNEW THAT YOUNG MAMMALS

WEREN’T THE BEST EATING,

AND THAT THEY’LL BE BIGGER

NEXT YEAR AND WILL FEED MORE;

WHERE THERE WERE NO TREES,

NO VARIETY OF FOOD,

NO BIRDS, NO INSECTS,

NO FRESH WATER, NO

LOVE, NO SHARING, NO

FREEDOM FROM FEAR,

IT STARVED FOR EONS;

NEAR THE TREES IT WOULD HAVE

PROTECTED THE BACK OF

TARGETTED HERDS WHILE

FEEDING ON THE BEST

MEAT AT THE FRONT;

PAGE NINE- STAGE FIVE-
