One Mind

We are of One Mind -
a tentacled,
ethereal monstrous mind,
not inherently vicious
but nevertheless
                prone to random acts of terror.

One Mind swims,
slips through your time and mine.
Thought-eels mate in that gelatinous
                    body of I ’ness.
Legends grow into settled science,
words like krill swell
reach Brobdingnagian proportions,
become too big to fail, reach into the realms
        of deniable plausibility.

Of course we must argue and differ,
debate and judiciously slaughter;
alone we are sprats and minnows
in the belly of a godly Kraken.
Of course we are One
but I do believe
    that you’re all in My ocean
and I am Not in yours.
