April Net:

Where is the line drawn?
Between nature and artifact,
between natural and artificial.
Can Man truly create something that is not of nature.

This line can be made.
This line can be imagined.
Either way it is still a line.
A point that seems to have no end.

But there is an End.
Because there is always an End.
And it will be found.
However, we may not be around.

So back to the matter,
Of the matter,
Is it possible for Man to create the artifact?
Does it really matter?

It would seem that the human Animal,
Has removed itself from Nature,
And strives to create the Artifact.
Yet we come full circle.

To make a distinction that Man is one or the other,
Ignores a larger issue.
By homogenizing the Nature to fit our desires,
We create a World desensitized to its own Nature.

Nature then compensates and tries to balance the equation.
The Artifact is the ignorance of the Nature.
Ignoring the problem at hand.
Live with Nature, ignore the Artifact.

It is late and the hour is almost at hand.
We strive to save the World,
But we're striving to save Ourselves.
The equation will balance, in one way or another.
