may occasionally
require a helping hand, or arm,
may set off the odd alarm
unintentionally.
Our elderly biosphere
may forget
more than is good for it
though its blue mind will always clear
eventually. Our elderly biosphere,
in getting a little thin,
will misplace what's under its skin
and imagine its long-dead near,
though unlike them, our elderly biosphere
is still here.
*James Lovelock's phrase
