Seeds of Time

We have a lot of time to fix the problem
says the man on the radio
In a mountain in Norway
seeds are stored
a hundred and fifty thousand
kinds of wheat
a hundred and fifty thousand
kinds of rice
and so on
Bastard cabbage and Mormon tea
are also represented
The antlers of wooden deer
are brittle
as a result of their diet
of almost one hundred percent sawdust
Everything's a tangent
unless the geometry of space-time
is perfectly straight
and what are the odds of that
The antlers are always curved
Mormon tea is of the species
Ephedra
A science journal says the pollen
of Ephedra
was found in Neanderthal graves
which means the species is older
than the modern Mormon religion
The ribs of Neanderthals
also curve like antlers
like arms that reach
for a part of space that no longer exists
