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.
