For they are the ones, who do the research.
To make the mud, to build the tool, to run in the well,
to make the test, to log the zone, to set the packer,
cement the pipe, and fire the gun.

To perforate, to pump the gel that carries the sand,
that props the frac, completes the well to produce the crude,
that runs the world for all the people all over the earth who live in the house that oil built.

The Orchardist

the descent of man

Fall from paradise; back again. Descent from beast; beastly still.

Welling true from the humus. Bred from tooth and claw

Truer still. Holy now. Now on. Here, upright

Fall from paradise; back again. Descent from beast; beastly still

Hominidae, they say onwards and upwards

into the stars, out of control

Fall from paradise; back again. Descent from beast; beastly still

Light will be thrown on the fate of man, the descent of man.
