Virtual von Neubots, map folding, and yet another whacky religion



I'm in East Orange, New Jersey, thinking of going over to the City for the night;
I'm in Omaha, Nebraska, dreaming of Australia;
An ant crawling on the map
In Saskatchewan
Brushes Brisbane
And falls in Friesland
(becoming a famous MC in the process).

Are we alone in the Universe?
They should have been here by now;
Von Neubots zooming down on our luscious planet.
Maybe they have already eaten us,
And all we see is the Grey Goo.

Was the Universal Constructor unleashed
That day in October, 1938, in Grovers Mill, NJ?

Perhaps the von Neubots have gone virtual-
In this Neu Goo, inevitably re-transformed
By new ecosystems, faster and more expediently than before.

How would we know?
Why not?
The proof is that everything is the same.

Eventually, we might discover a use for those extra thumbs...
