Tireless Tyrant of All That Is

Michael P. Ramirez

She's been around since ... forever

so it's not surprising that at times she

becomes a trifle crochety attitudinally

gnarly-tempered as it were, and perhaps

forgetful, rushing into things before

considering the consequences and of

course precipitating 'accidents'. Just the

way an agenarian would but much much

more. It's the little things and needless

to say, episodes of errant missions with

truly frightening outcomes. Not for her

but for her creatures. True, she has a

bottomless curiosity, indulging in any

number of experiments to tax our capacity

to endure and survive. Owing our very

existence to her formulaic dabbling in

chemicals and organic matter we view

her genius with unending respect while at

the same time languish in anticipatory fear

of her insatiable will to test our resilience

and will to surmount obstacles she poses

now and again on our path to survival.
