Folly’s Wake
before me, after me, before you, after you
energy permeates all, encompassed in and of itself
everything, no vacuum exists. neutrinos, just one of
millions no…trillions, no…countless particles
invisible to human eye, narcissistic folly is sum of
human intellect. wizened ones know they know
nothing. life and knowledge, ever growing, ever
knowing, less and less. more discovery, more
recovery of knowledge long lost. denial of most
calling themselves scientists. arrogant playground
millennia past. Slipping art amongst trials
with and struck by immediacy’s ardor
passion plays in folly’s wake.
