   To reify, making noun-things, such as, oh say, Nature,   
   one may state: Nature made people and meant for cities to be.

   Earth, having made great coal beds for people to exploit   
   and not be content to sleep on the ground forever, made ready   
   brains to take to the stars, to escape the next glacial wave,   
   the next asteroid, and make hay before the Sun sets   
   on what appears to be a pale blue dot from afar.

   Myths vary and   
   like moths to a flame,   
   on wings of imagination fly.

   Mass extinction events are not always gradual.   
   Climates change time and time again.   
      
   Nature prepares as it seeks, like water, its own levels   
   level the playing fields of waves of grain, like chaff.
