atoms and electrons arranged,
caused, acts originating
from absolute nothingness.
the effect, mater, now matters,
a platform for poets,
rational thinkers, and
serious inquirers.
planting two feet into
ground that isn’t preexistent,
baffling, the vast numbers
whom didn’t see it.
content to conclude
planetary beauty an
entitlement, her order
the staple, stable science
serves bland pastiche on plates.
is it not worthy of further
study or consideration?
but to ask, an axiom acts
and transcends the empirical;
to cry, inclines his Holy Hands.
