What is ‘the inanimate’
– a vague comparison
with what we know of life?
Yet isn’t everything animate
from chaos to concern
– defining existence
as ‘being in existence’ –
the direction for there to be order
the consolidations of form
the purpose in ‘being alive’
the meaning in awareness
the moral in thought
the thrust of emotion
the urge to know
– manifestations
of the power to be
into realities
borrowing.
