Like you I was in space today,
moving around on what some call
Earth. The Chinese in Mandarin
call it tu, with a diacritic mark
over the u, a parenthesis lying
on its back, looking up at the sky.
Evolution means the weather
can seem calibrated perfectly
to me (and you) and me (and you)
to the weather. A peace treaty
signed by molecules. Can be
revoked at any time.
After work, I returned
to the circumstance by which
regardless of how much humans
learn, certain fundamental
mysteries will not yield,
such as what's the all about?--
this moving around on a
matter-ball that spins and tilts
and orbits and has an indigestive core
of molten stuff.
