Maize (/ˈmeɪz/ MAYZ; Zea mays subsp. mays, from Spanish: maíz after Taíno mahiz), commonly known as corn, is a large grain plant domesticated by indigenous peoples in Mexico in prehistoric times about 10,000 years ago. The six major types of corn are dent corn, flint corn, pod corn, popcorn, flour corn, and sweet corn.
The leafy stalk of the plant produces separate pollen and ovuliferous inflorescences or ears, which are fruits, yielding kernels (often erroneously called seeds). Maize kernels are often used in cooking as a starch.
Most historians believe maize was domesticated in the Tehuacan Valley of Mexico. The Olmec and Mayans cultivated it in numerous varieties throughout Mesoamerica, cooked, ground or processed through nixtamalization. Beginning about 2500 BC, the crop spread through much of the Americas. The region developed a trade network based on surplus and varieties of maize crops. After European contact with the Americas in the late 15th and early 16th centuries, explorers and traders carried maize back to Europe and introduced it to other countries. Maize spread to the rest of the world because of its ability to grow in diverse climates. Sugar-rich varieties called sweet corn are usually grown for human consumption as kernels, while field corn varieties are used for animal feed, various corn-based human food uses (including grinding into cornmeal or masa, pressing into corn oil, and fermentation and distillation into alcoholic beverages like bourbon whiskey), and as chemical feedstocks.

Samson the sun
stand the hawk
ground
of one who has heard...
smoke fires... flaming fox
kindleth fire in the torches, fire
sendeth he out
into the standing corn,
even unto vineyard -
unto olive
he smiteth them hip and thigh -
right hand and eye
a great great smiting,
The height

O the height and depth
O the height and depth
He goeth down
and dwelleth in
the cleft of the rock
on his arms are as flax
they burn with fire,
and his bands are wasted
from off his hands,
the merciful parable
the wine press yes
no shadow of turning
a rumor is enough
he findeth a fresh jaw-bone
of an ass, putteth forth his hand
and taketh it,
and smiteth - a thousand men
He taketh a fresh jawbone
O the height and depth

O the height and depth
