Food Chain
Suzanne Mondoux · 3 June 2020
Filling the space of time with logic What goes up, must come down Bigger eats smaller, or something like that Stronger dominates the weak, or something like that Where am I in the grand scheme of this world
I’m afraid of what’s below me I’m afraid of what’s above me Which part of the food chain am I What part do I play in the food chain What am I to the food chain
Is my life that linear, am I truly linked from one to another Is life so defined by the arrows showing the flow of thing, showing my flow Does this food chain cause me to step out of line What happens when I do Does the structure collapse Do we starve
Food chain, a human invention Design by default for understanding, for making sense of something For making sense of something not linear in nature, by nature So complex the heart of humans, so fearful to knowing What lies in these discoveries, what chants to us what we can’t see Food chain of heaven and earth, one way or the other Life for life, is this so Is this so in all forms of life
It’s a beautiful day to know food without chains It’s a magnificent day to know life without chains It’s a splendid day to know love without chains
How easy to understand this food chain of life What wonder it brings to big and the small What clarity it brings to strong and the weak
Climb your highest mountain one chain link to the next Take life when you need Give life when you know
Is this food chain too simple it gets confused with complexity Which arrow do I follow, which arrow shows me where I’m to flow Which life do I take today What do I give to life today
