imagine a new species
capable of sustaining
characteristics
of both plants and animals
c'mon
use your imagination
plants able to move
walk on more than all fours
like their quadruped predators
animals able to harness
the rays of the sun directly
no filtration or lotion need
to photosynthesize our grocery orders
a world without hunger
standing like bare white walls
at a modern art exhibit
tapped with true tranquility
a peace offering from the stars
a moment to catch our breaths
from the time patrolman trainer
for us humans
to finally get our acts straight
achieve our highest potential
grow outwardly into our evolving bodies
to be our highest potential forms
but outwardly
we might have to accept branches
in place of our forearms
curling tendrils instead of posable thumbs
but life is but one big biological stew
swimming in a public pool of brine
being studied under a lens
fixed somewhere unclear
so why not dare
to mutate our physical forms
and edit our bony bodies
test the possibilities
our genomes are already mutated
and nucleotides don't wait
or take orders from any gods
landlords
parents
or managers
in a world with only peace
