Darkness. Inky blackStaring into nothingness
Arms outstretched
Searching groping at the void
An imperceptible change
Empties into the void
Allowing fuzzy metaphors
Then a shard of night
Is pierced
And the day begins
Empties into the void
Allowing fuzzy metaphors
Then a shard of night
Is pierced
And the day begins
Earth, Erath, Thare, Ethra…The Dirt !
It appears these days that change comes too quick; the Earth is evolving in ways we haven’t witnessed…
...In our lifetimes.
...In our lifetimes.
Come the next ice age, does it surprise you that there might be another (and another and another…), what will become of Canadians?
As the Earth continues to cool and the tectonic plates pitch into high gear and the Rocky Mountains grow and loom larger and the continents split or converge or sink into the crust to recycle themselves endlessly,
Where will the Buckeyes go, and the Hoosiers, and the Wolverines and Marmots and Unicorns and Banshees?
Where will the Buckeyes go, and the Hoosiers, and the Wolverines and Marmots and Unicorns and Banshees?
Frightening heat
Unrelenting fever stirs the dust
Baking the chalk into a tar
Crust and hardens to crack
A landscape of dearth
Desolate resolution from which
No one will escape
No amount of human ingenuity can stop the Worlds and Galaxies from their dance, and universes will drift and Galaxies will collide and mix and some eon a race of Beflemopeps with 4 limbs and a foofoo-pomet to scrath their itchy backs will stumble over our transmitted Beatle’s recordings and snoot their penny-wiggles at the chrome plated cloud ducts and smile, sideways with a lolling pooch.

I think maybe the Canadians will further adapt and evolve into yetis.
Like the part about humans not being able to do anything about it; 'tis true!
And if I had a foofoo-pomet built in like that...instant itch relief! (for my back, my back )!!!
Cool post ( pun fully intended )
nice doodle as always. you have such creative names for the alien's appendages. interesting thoughts on the evolving world we find ourselves in. will evolution change it our us in our mismanagement?
only the Shadow knows!
I'm just glad we're small enough to dodge the odd meteor and Jupiter is out there copping the blows! hee hee "foofoo-pomet" I'm sooo stealing that one!
I saw a "sunlight" map of the earth recently - I think you've pretty much described how it all happened!
I really like your post.And yes,another ice aged is coming or something like that..perhaps some "friends" will come to the rescue,perhaps not.
Hey I'm a Canadian! Most of us live surprisingly close to the border so we'll just come and live with you.
Very smart of you for "cueing" up the Space Odyssey music. I heard it in my head the whole time.
Yes, my Canadian hubby already lives here so he is safe, we humans need to try to save earth if we can.
Loved the doodle, no one doodles like you. Thank you for showing them to us.
God bless.
Yeah, everything is fluid, every changing and temporary. :)
Earth = Daigdig (as in world)
Earth = Lupa (as in soil)
I have, on many occasions, considered future ice ages but never once have I considered the fate of Canadians. I will do so now. Okay, I'm done with that.
"Where will the Buckeyes go, and the Hoosiers, and the Wolverines and Marmots and Unicorns and Banshees?" I think the same place the Atlantean's and Lemurian's went.
Foofoo-Pomet? Hmmm, trying to imagine.
evolution is a wonderful thing. quite profound.
nice little golf buddy, and I thought Oh! Looks like he's holding a ginger snap! er, I mean golf ball in his hand. Maybe it is a ginger snap.
Like very much the different pictures of the earth.
I like the part about "some eons of race....." and the doodle.
one of my fave TT Earth posts
i like the sideways with a lolling pooch
well, and snooting penny-wiggles is pretty good too...
I remember playing Also sprach Zarathustra in a concert many, many years ago. Now I can't get the tune out of my head!
As for the Earth, it is evolving round the clock. Or maybe it's not. Lovely twist on the theme!
Well some things are best not thought about...but then it seems the only tv worth watching is the channels that have all the documentries about super volcanoes and global warming and all the other things that are lurking like planet sized meteorites just waiting to take us out...
I guess we better live while the living is good!
There is no guarantee...so today I had my girl guide cookies for breakfast!
