Open Pit Mine

An organism being
A vortex that’s maintaining
Its vortex by consuming

Additional vortices,
While being consumed in part
Or totality by more

Vortices continuing
By consuming vortices,
Peace lies in alliances

Between vortices that don’t
Consume each other’s kind or
Compete over the same kinds.

It’s relatively easy
For a deer and a pine tree,
Or a human and a . . . well,

Actually humans will
Consume almost anything,
Even what isn’t living.
