Who can fault the sun
that gives light and heat
on all surface things?
Photonics rays
irradiating
the masses of electron waves.
Energy masquerading solids.
Steam, stream, and ice.
One light illuminating one sameness.
But, Inequitable Man,
frail and pale,
imagining wisdom
from its narrow spectral vision.
Calculating, differentiating.
Edifying the thought-tree
of phylum and kingdom,
family, class, and specie.
A delight of self-delusion.
Progress in chaos.
Myriad in one.
Lines in circles.
When the eternal cycle comes.
Existence compressing and expanding.
When the earth is molten.
When leaves and grass,
spine and fingers are stripped ions.
Where will the minded difference be?
What fell, what evil,
what good, what excellent?
Language a riddle,
Time, illusion.
Our comprehension no greater than the black ant
Knowing only
work, feed, breed, breathe,
and the probabilistic nature of existence: beginning, striving, dying.
When time runs itself out,
one black dot,
four-times unextended, remains.
