Dead reckoning

(2 pm. – promoted by ek hornbeck)

Let’s throw the instruments overboard.

The quadrant, the compass, the common sense:

There is no positive integer that answers the question

Of human carrying capacity.

Ahab and Israel have lost their marbles, while we…

What exactly did we do with our

collective conscience?  Effective procedures?

Surely, humans once computed algorithms,

Secured the tackle to the mast and sailed

To the Galapagos.  Darwin’s finches

Grew more better beaks in bad

Weather, but we keep electing Mitt?

Is there an obesity epidemic in

The Gaussian tails of psychopaths these days?

    On a more positive note, it “appears” that Panetta kiboshed Israel on Iran, for the time being, because who really needs the fifth fleet at the bottom of the strait?  and who needs jillion dollar oil in a wildly deflationary compression?  Not me, bub.
