On the ingenuity
Of brute animals. This was,
What? 400 years ago,
Something like. Open your text
On animal behaviors
Today and find a dozen
Examples of nonhuman
Tool-construction traditions.
How about a library
For brute ingenuity?
Our own, originally,
Its own, now, nearly. Volumes
Self-incinerate; words burn
Through the pages. That’s not it.
Slip #384:
On the mortal delusions
Of forms of self-reference.
