To Be Remembered

Should I see myself as a single grain of sand
whist among the wind-blown dunes
Perhaps as a single salt blade
Fanning my green in the sunlight

Or to be forgotten
much as the outer banks of the Carolina will again be
Or as some hermit crab that begins to die

Yet another, finds the green
while perched upon my “grain”

Tis a beginning,
yet often an individual’s end?

But this is nature.

And how can one ever forget me.

Individuals are mortal, the genome can be immortal!  It only needs to adapt at crucial points in time.

Spectator, I didn’t dare to put “individual” in quotes… (per: “yet often an individual’s end?”)

—-As a true “individual” never wants to be considered not immortal. (Said not in the nature sense, but in the human sense.)

P.S. So to continue in a discussion…

But while humans can indeed be deemed to become immortal, nature will only remain transient.

P.P.S. Besides, I see that Tom now as well, claims a “global warming” in use of quotes. (But doesn’t he lie in order to promote this “lie“?)
