Downloading Marianne  
L. Edgar Otto    17 August, 2013

We slime thru the landscape licking rust
downloading Marianne, the state her bust
Awakening in revolution all the motes of dust

So sang Insitu to Insei in formation
so probable the outcome of disinformation
That sleep again conforms each confirmation

* * *
Lyrae kept watch over Instar and her worms
as Immuni seeded Cloud in the war for germs
Fractus and Holonia fought then came to terms

Denovo and Deresu found their love Insync
children of Sapiosaurus tamed, learned to think
Xtal and shifting Grid held brittle on the brink

* * *
Tranz brought flowers to Mauve, Invitro so came
Driving to Oklahoma pursing comet tails his aim

* * * *

Footnote in a poetic form with suggestive new terms to be expanded later into a novel that covers a wide physical and social landscape with particulars while local color in great works becomes universal for all peoples, a sort of converse to express this.  This inspired by the painting of Marianne on the toad poet site whose breast of liberty represent the state feeding the hungry.  Speculative or Science Fiction in spirit.  We are given in stealth or seek to download things like HIV in hopes past the extension and dependence on survival at some certain end that the ultimate reality is that we can find a cure.
