Many Things

We are like wiggling aphids on a quantum computer. Knowledge beyond the scope of the most gifted tutor. Spaces and dimensions multiplied by infinity, plus one. Therefore, I am open to any possibility, oddity -- or none. Too many eye-witness, photographed phenomenon to shun: Like the fifth (genuine) photograph of the Cottingley Fairies. In Taos, New Mexico that unexplained hum is unnervingly scary. Intuition (or sixth sense) makes science and psychologists wary. Disappearances (Hoffa, Earhart) cannot be dismissed so lightly. Ghosts, sprites and ectoplasmic bits flaunt themselves nightly. UFO sightings, crashes and top-secret documents exist, rightly. The prevalence and similarity of near-death cases is astounding. Fairies (or Fae, or Angels) hail not only from European founding; But, from China to the USA, their numbers, happily, rebounding. Hordes of haters and sceptics are quick to condemn and dissent. Nevertheless, I, too, have witnessed a truly unfathomable event. From my night-time garden, I spied a winged, many legged gent. Of course, I have no evidence -- so, raise your knives and neuter....

Thanks, Sara -- but, what about the 12 syllables per line?

I know -- I didn't do the 12 syllables per line! Perhaps I'll do an edit -- but I'd rather not.... :-(
