Prosimian
Prosimians are a type of primate that includes all living and extinct strepsirrhines (lemurs, lorisoids, and adapiforms), as well as the haplorhine tarsiers and their extinct relatives, the omomyiforms. They are considered to have characteristics that are more "primitive" (ancestral or plesiomorphic) than those of simians (monkeys, apes, and humans).
Prosimians are a paraphyletic group and not a clade (a group consisting of an ancestor and all its descendants), since tarsiers share a more recent common ancestor with all simians than with the strepsirrhines. Consequently, the term "prosimian" is no longer widely used in a taxonomic sense, but is still used to illustrate the behavioral ecology of tarsiers relative to the other primates.
Prosimians are the only primates native to Madagascar, but are also found throughout Africa and in Asia.
Traits
Being an evolutionary grade rather than a clade, the prosimians are united by being primates with traits otherwise found in non-primate mammals. Their diets typically are less dominated by fruit than those of the simians, and many are active arboreal predators, hunting for insects and other small animals in the trees. All prosimians outside Madagascar are nocturnal, meaning that no prosimian competes directly with simian primates (the only nocturnal simians are New World monkeys of genus Aotus).

Theology and hives spread
In New Jersey
Philadelphia and Woodstock
The Murder Mothers Move
Through the hedgefires over mud
Rings of plastic madness scorn
Ancient Rome and Egypt and Greece
The horns fall over me
Dreaming of times
And lotuses in fields of rubble
Bearded swift shift to Sophia
Opened her heart to me
Stood in her empty face touching her lips
With her fists
Biting and drawing down sparrows
By her sighing and the space of her bow
The lorries are full of gold and fog
I have the [wörterbuch] in my hand
I have misheard Adonai and brought down
Aiwass in the Mass
Corrupted Hosts by breathing grimoires
And breaking into the [Keeper's Pantry]
When I was in the desert I was
By the dedred sea see the caravan
Dragging the Sun unto set
Heard stolen cock-crow
Thieved pricks hardened by time
Into your face and her grimace
As Rainbow Patty is Goat Lady Supreme
Your throat as breathe gold spores
The little pinky
The ticker and the counter
The forged face: I have forgotten you
With Isis and persimmon you're all
All so told and spelled out
X under your name Mrs. Charlie
Poor Doll Poor Grace uninyou
Formed I heard had news from
Acidic Heaven
Home of the formerly dead
Heard have bit more than I knew was true
Ate Stars in dreams
Heard priests rant on pure
Shovelled cat shit into sinks
Gagging as the rusted sword unrolls
Tip to Teeth in κοινὴ Greece
Lord God
Let it
Day That
In Israel
Broken glass from another time
Of flogging and the ded hiding
In the bottom of the water by the headless walk
Read pornography in cherry blossom
