Siriusly
by Pablo Estévez y Blanco
Let’s Do the Time Wave Again!
For H.C.
Old Nommo knew what fun he’d cause,For H.C.
Arriving from on high,
Revealing Big Dog and Wee Pup
To every Dogon eye,
Ages before astronomers
Used lenses to descry
Rings and moons, white dwarves and such
Lacunae of the sky.
Nommo to Nommos quickly twinned,
A fishy-heady brew;
They swam around the Dog Star, then
Pondered some feet to do.
Zero to one was quite a jump,
From one to two much greater,
But after that, it’s everywhere —
The Mad Reduplicator!
Two by two and four by four
By eight by infinity,
N to the Nth Attractor of
Time’s teleology —
Until the cosmic wheels fall off,
Worlds crashing out of joint,
And super-complex-Consciousness
Hits the Omega Point.
Two-one-one-two two-oh-one-two —
O Jumping Jesus leap
In Sirius cavorting, then
Collapse into a heap!
They knew it centuries ago,
Those dark-eyed, wise Dogon;
They heard it from the Fish’s mouth,
Straight from the Starry One:
The imminent End of Novelty,
The terminal of Extropy,
The festive Eschaton.
