Transformative


The Difference Between
Wholes and Parts

Would Jane Goodall scold
the chimps for their chimp
behavior? Heaven’s no.

Would God? Of course not.

Looky, Looky: they’d both
be saying. Consider them
apes.

The chimps themselves
full of simian ethic &
primate Good & Evil:
they’d reprimand for
sure

Jail & punish;
salute & reward.
Like first grade :
gold star or spanking
so as to grow some
moral monkeys.

But Jane? No.
God? of course not

Just watching. Aesthetes.
All good from where they
stand & interesting, too
regardless of what the
monkeys have to say.
