Will wanted to do a fun parody of She's Country for his 'Then To Be' wife. Idea being that we played it for the 1st time at the wedding reception!! Unfortunately that didn't happen... so here it is now.  Dedicated to Stacey, Will's Wife

light shimmering on the pond (naviarhaiku595)

Let's go with a tempo of 192 BPM to represent it's average speed of an amazing 192 body lengths per second

Although the intention is to appreciate the creature for what it is, tiny creatures like this are even more special because they inhabit spacial dimensions we can never truly appreciate. They live in micro machines the game all the time. So cool... 😆

It's nice also to use their imagined perspective for trying to imagine beings that can inhabit additional dimensions to us. Spider mites are so small relative to us it's as if they exist in 2D world. In their 3D world they have mount everest at every turn

Maybe ascension for us as beings lies in evolving to states of being that can access a fifth dimension and as firth dimensional beings we can see our 3 dimensional brothers and sisters trying to think outside the box


Ok back in my box!


Red Spider Mite

A pest we say
Through weed old true to me
Dear spider mite
Just red and bright
You make Schindler's list with system wist
Munching buds and weeds and strawberries
Crunching paths
Minute dimensional glories
We lack perspective for very small
Be sound balloon muse melody troll

Make your mission Anthropoda
Make zinc spark fission
Like human coda
Mites are more like spacial rock
More mighty mites make light as clock
Eurakyotes, resident with mind
Be fine red raid of niche you find
Kind is kind
Blind is blind
Through your eyes no pest sees bind
Zesty like sculpturor of this planet
You carve this rock
Be life like granite

Silky webbing your fortress for troop
Expansion of nice red army like group
fruit sustenance leaves munched for lunch
More red rainbow youth multiplication of bunch
Go be no pest with battle for zest
Be Earth like nest
Big gravitational best
