Bits Bite
"In and of itself bad, Pain alone has Objective Value for all sentient beings,
none Rationally desiring its genitals slowly sliced off --
especially sans a morphine drip."
-- one Truth beyond all Reasonable doubt
generally unknown
(like most Truths beyond all Reasonable doubt)
* * *
The universe reduced is quite banal,
but force bits pushing matter bits through space --
no mystery therein, no crystal ball,
no toast with pregnant virgin's buttered face;
nor still a riddle unresolved is time,
since force bits speeding straight from A to B,
though near as swift as Hermes in his prime,
cross not the finish tape yet in - stant - ly;
nor at the quantum level does one bit
step out of line or naughty truant play,
for each determined is to neither split
nor Linear Mechanics disobey;
while Reason entertains no quantum hope
of Peter Pan or God in Physics' scope.
* * *
a dedication of Respect
for
Clarity --
the enemy of confusion
a revolving helios sonnet shakespearean satire menippean on
metaphysics, a logically empty concept --
a Truth generally unknown
march, 2023 -- the rhymester romantic yet full in love with "the unknown"
in having flunked Physics 101
(in addition to skipping the lecture on evolution)
