The Butcher's Dream

*


We are a provisional creature.



*



If you look for us in a million years, we'll be long gone.



It will be like we were never here.



We will join Neanderthal, Homo Habilus, Homo Ergaster, and the rest.


*


In a hundred years, everyone alive right now will be dead.


*


In four billion years our Sun will expand into a giant and we'll be swallowed up.


*

After that, a few more billion years, comes the heat death of the universe.


*



Make hay while the sun shines.




*



It is the weekend and raining and there is going to be hot coffee, potatoes and eggs, fire in the fireplace, and art and art and art and art.


*


Namaste.
